Solution

The correct option is D: 36

Let the digit in the units place be x and digit in the tens place be y.

According to first condition,we have

x=2y(i) [ units digit =2×tens digit]

the two digit number is 10y+x.

When the digits are reversed, the reversed number will be 10x+y

When 27 is added, the digits are reversed. [Given]

Original number +27= Reversed number

10y+x+27=10x+y

9x9y=27

xy=3(ii)

Putting x=2y in equation (ii), we get

2yy=3

y=3

Putting y=3 in equation (ii), we get

x3=3

x=6

Original number =10y+x=10×3+6=36

Hence, the number is 36.
