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=10x−x+y−10y
⇒36=9x−9y
⇒9(x−y)=36
⇒x−y=4 _____(1)
Substituting the value of x=3y in equation (1), we get
⇒3y−y=4
⇒2y=4
⇒y=2
Substituting the value of y in equation (1), we get
⇒x−2=4
⇒x=6
Hence, the number is 26.
