Correct Option: D
Let us assume the two digits number of the number is a and b.
According to given question,
The original number is 10a + b.
After interchanging the digits , the Number is 10b + a.
The number formed is greater than the the original number by 45,
We will get,
New number = Original number + 45
⇒ 10b + a = 10a + b + 45
⇒ 10b + a - 10a - b = 45
⇒ 9b - 9a = 45
⇒ b - a = 5
According the question the difference between the digits is 5 which will not help us to solve this question because both condition given in question are same. So can't be determined the answer.
