  1. The ratio between a two – digit number and the sum of the digits of that number is 4 : 1. If the digit at the unit’s place is 3 more than the digit at the ten's place, then the number is
    1. 47
    2. 69
    3. 36
    4. 25
Correct Option: C

Check through options
Number = 36
3 + 6 = 9; 6 – 3 = 3
and 36 : 9 = 4 : 1
Otherwise– 10x + y : x + y = 4 : 1
⇒  10x + (x + 3) : x + (x + 3) = 4 : 1

⇒ 
11x + 3
=
4
2x + 31

⇒  11x + 3 = 8x + 12
⇒  3x = 9 ⇒ x = 3 and y = 6
Then the number is 36.
