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?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
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.

@All.
Now for example;
Take the number to be 54(example), then in units place we have 4 and in tens place we have 5
Separately,
x = 5
y = 4
For xth place 10*5=50
For yth place. +4
= 54
Hence 10*x + y ---->(1)
After interchanging in xth place we have y so,
10*y + x -----> (2)
So that's why we have 10.

According to me.
The two-digit number I'll take is 10.
And subtract with 36.
So I'll get 26.
Then I have to find the difference between the two-digit number so I'll subtract 2-6 =4 so the answer is 4.

The question is that interchanging position.
Where did they ask 10th digit place?
Please explain me.

Here, it is given the number obtained by interchanging the position 2 digit number not 1 digit number like 93 - 39 = 36.

Let the unit place be x.
Ten =10x.
On interchanging position in difference.
10x-x=39,
9x=36,
x=36/9,
x = 4 answer.
Note : If we don't interchange the value of x will be -4.
Ten =10x.
On interchanging position in difference.
10x-x=39,
9x=36,
x=36/9,
x = 4 answer.
Note : If we don't interchange the value of x will be -4.

If in the question it is asked to find the 2 digit number, then how can we find it, can anyone explain?

Say 1 no is 84.
Then interchanging it we will get 48.
Difference between these two number is 36.
So, the difference between the two digit will be 4.
Then interchanging it we will get 48.
Difference between these two number is 36.
So, the difference between the two digit will be 4.
