Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let the number be x}} \cr & {\text{According to question}} \cr & \frac{x}{{7/8}} - \frac{7}{8}x = 15 \cr & \frac{8}{7}x - \frac{7}{8}x = 15 \cr & \frac{{64x - 49x}}{{56}} = 15 \cr & 15x = 15 \times 56 \cr & x = 56 \cr & {\text{Sum of digits }} \cr & = 5{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}6 \cr & = 11 \cr} $$
