Solution

Let, the unit digit is x and tens digit is y.
Then, x=3y.
The number would be 10y+x.
The number obtained by reversing the digits is 10x+y

If 36 is added to the number, digits interchange their places
Therefore,
10y+x+36=10x+y
36=10xx+y10y
36=9x9y
9(xy)=36
xy=4 _____(1)

Substituting the value of x=3y in equation (1), we get
3yy=4
2y=4
y=2

Substituting the value of y in equation (1), we get
x2=4
x=6

Hence, the number is 26.
