Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Let unit’s place digit be x and ten’s place digit be y.

$ \therefore $ Number $ =10y+x $ According to the question, $ x-y=2 $ … (i) and $ 4(x+y)=10y+x-3 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3x-6y=-3 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x-2y=-1 $ … (ii) On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get x = 5 and y = 3 Hence, number $ =10y+x $ $ =10\times 3+5=35 $
