Correct Answer: 38


Solution : Let the unit digit of the number be $y$ and the tens digit be $x$.
Number $= 10x$ + $y$
Product of digits $= x$ × $y = 24$ ---------------(i)
According to the question,
$10x+y+45 = 10y + x$
⇒ $9y-9x= 45$
⇒ $y-x = \frac{45}{9} = 5$ ---------------------(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii), we get,
$x= 3$ and $y= 8$
So, the number $=10x+y=10×3+8=38$
Hence, the correct answer is 38.
