  • Question
  • The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 15 and the difference between the digits is 3. What is the two-digit number?


  • Options
  • A. 69
  • B. 78
  • C. 96
  • D. Cannot be determined
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • Cannot be determined 

    Explanation
    Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y.

    Then, x + y = 15 and x - y = 3   or   y - x = 3.

    Solving x + y = 15   and   x - y = 3, we get: x = 9, y = 6.

    Solving x + y = 15   and   y - x = 3, we get: x = 6, y = 9.

    So, the number is either 96 or 69.

    Hence, the number cannot be determined.
