Correct Answer: 26


Solution : Let the unit digit of the number be $y$ and the ten digit be $x$.
Number $= 10x + y$
Product of digits $= x × y = 12$ ---(i)
According to the question,
$10x + y + 36=10y + x$
$9y – 9x = 36$
$y – x = \frac{36}{9} = 4$ ---(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii),
$x = 2, y = 6$
∴ Number $=$ 26
Hence, the correct answer is 26.
