A.
69
B.
78
C.
96
D.
Cannot be determined
Answer
E.
None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
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.
