Question

Sum of digits of a two digit number is 8. The digit in tens place is thrice the digit in unit place. Find the number.

• A. 26
• B. 35
• C. 62
• D. 53

Answer 1

The correct option is C 62

Let the digit in unit place be $x$
So, the digit in tens place is $3x$
According to the given data,

$\therefore 3x+x=84x=8x=\frac{8}{4}x=2$

Digit in unit place is 2 and hence, the digit in tens place is $3\times 2=6$.

So, the number is 62.
