      A 63 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 56 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 73 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the ones digit = 'a', tens digit = 'b'

      Number = 10b + a, Reversed = 10a + b

      a + b = 10 --------- (I)

      10b + a - 36 = 10a + b

      β‡’ 9b - 9a = 36

      β‡’ b - a = 4 --------- (II)

      Add (I) and (II):

      a + b + b - a = 10 + 4

      β‡’ 2b = 14 β‡’ b = 7

      Then a = 3

      Required number = 10 Γ— 7 + 3 = 73
