Question

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 15 and the difference between the digits is 3. What is the two-digit number?

Options:
A .  69
B .  78
C .  96
D .  Cannot be determined
E .  None of these
Answer: Option D

Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y.


Then, x + y = 15 and x - y = 3   or   y - x = 3.


Solving x + y = 15   and   x - y = 3, we get: x = 9, y = 6.


Solving x + y = 15   and   y - x = 3, we get: x = 6, y = 9.


So, the number is either 96 or 69.


Hence, the number cannot be determined.
