Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: E

Solution:

Let the digits at the two digits number be x and y, respectively. Then, the number will be $ 10x+y. $ According to the question, $ (10x+y)-(10y+x)=27 $ $ 9x-9y=27 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x-y=3 $ Given, $ y:x=1:2 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=2y $

$ \therefore $ $ 2y-y=3 $

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

$ \therefore $ Number is 63 Now, sum of digits $ =6+3=9 $ Difference of digits $ =6-3=3 $

$ \therefore $ Required difference $ =9-3=6 $
