Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Let number be (10x + y) According to question,
(10x + y) - (10y + x) = 54
10x - 10y + y - x = 54
Or, 9x - 9y = 54
Or, x - y = 6 -------(i)
Sum of digits,
(x + y) = 10 ------- (ii)
(i) - (ii)
So, x - y - x - y = 6 - 10
Or, -2y = -4
Or, y = 2 and, x = 8
Then, the required number is
= (10y + x)
= 10 × 2 + 8
= 28
