We tend to be harsh on our bureaucracy, but nowhere do citizens enjoy dealing with their government. They do it because they have to. But that doesn't mean that the experience has to be dismal. Now there is a new wind blowing thr- ough government departments around the world, which could take some of this pain away. In the next five years it may well transform not only the way public services are delivered but also the fundamental relationship between government and citizens. Not surprisingly, it is the Internet that is behind it. After e-commerce and e-business, the next revaluation may be e- governance. Examples abound. The municipality of Phoenix, Arizona, allows its citizens to renew their car registrations, pay traffic fines, replace lost identity cards etc. online without having to stand in endless queues in a grubby manipal office. The municipality is happy because it saves $5 a transaction it costs only $1.60 to process an online transaction versus $6.60 to do it across's the counter. In Chile, people routinely submit their income tax returns over the Internet, which has increased transparency, drastically reduced the time taken and the number of errors and litigation with the tax department.

76. The difference between a two digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the position of its digits is  36. What is the difference between the two digits of that number ?
(a) 4
(b) 9
(c) 3
(d) Cannot be determined
(e) None of these
Ans. (a) Let the unit's digit be y.
Also let y > x.
∴ Number = 10y + x and number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10x + y
∴ 10y + x - 10x - y = 36
⇒ 9y - 9x = 36
⇒ 9(y - x) = 36
⇒ y - x = 4
