Correct Answer: $47$
Solution : Let the tens digit be $x$ so the unit digit is $(2x - 1)$. Original number = $10x + 2x - 1= 12x - 1$. After the interchange, new number = $10(2x - 1) + x = 20x - 10 + x = 21x –10$. The difference between the new and the original numbers is $(21x - 10) - (12x - 1) = 9x - 9$. According to the question, $9x - 9 = (12x - 1) -20$ ⇒ $12x - 9x = 21 - 9$ ⇒ $3x = 12$ ⇒ $x = 4$ Therefore, the tens digit is $4$ and the unit digit is $(2 × 4) - 1 = 7$. Hence, the original number = $(4 × 10) + 7 = 47$.
