Correct Answer: (2) 8
Solution:First digit x = 2m

Second digit y = 1m

number = 10x + y

As per question

(10x + y) - (10y + x) = 36

9x - 9y = 36

x - y = 4

2m - m = 4 Putting the value of x and y

m = 4

x = 2m = 2 x 4 = 8

y = 1ne = 1 x4 = = 4

Required difference = Addition of digits difference of digits.

= (x + y) - (x - y)

= y = 2 * 4 = 8
