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?
3
4
9
Cannot be determined
None of these
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.

Is that method of considering 10 for the units place should be applied for all the problems?

By trick,

For difference = d/9 and for sum = s/11.

So,
Difference = 36/9 = 4 (answer).

They take 10 number because of it is in ten's place. So they take 10 number :).
