The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the positions of its digits is 36. What is the difference between the two digits of that number?
Options:
A .  3
B .  4
C .  9
D .  Cannot be determined
E .  None of these
Answer: Option B Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y. Then, (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 36 ⇒ 9(x - y) = 36 ⇒ x - y = 4
