SBI-PO 2007 (Quantitative Aptitude)

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
