- 72
- 56
- 54
- Cannot be determined
- None of these
Correct Option: C
Let the number be 10x + y where x > y
According to the question.
x + y = 15 ............(1)
and x - y = 3 .........(2)
Add the Equation (1) and (2) , We will get
x + y + x - y = 15 + 3
⇒ 2x = 18
⇒ x = 9
Put the value of x in equation (1). We will get
9 + y = 15
⇒ y = 15 - 9
⇒ y = 6
So we have digits of number x = 9, y = 6
∴ x * y = 9 * 6 = 54
