A. 4
B. 8
C. 16
D. 20
Correct Answers: B
Explanation:
Since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits, so the ten’s digit is greater than the unit’s digit.
Let ten’s and unit’s digits be 2x and x respectively.
Then, (10 × 2x + x) – (10x + 2x) = 36
⇒ 9x = 36
⇒ x = 4
∴ Required difference
= (2x + x) – (2x – x)
= 2x
= 8
24). The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 15 and the difference between the digits is 3. What is the two-digit number?
A. 69
B. 78
C. 96
D. Cannot be determined
Correct Answers: D
Explanation:
Let the ten’s digit be x and unit’s digit be y
Then, x + y = 15 and x – y = 3 or y – x = 3
Solving x + y = 15 and x – y = 3, we get: x = 9, y = 6
Solving x + y = 15 and y – x = 3, we get: x = 6, y = 9
So, the number is either 96 or 69
Hence, the number cannot be determined.
