C) 37 D) 17

Any two digit number can be written as (10P + Q), where P is the digit in the tens place and Q is the digit in the units place.
P + Q = 8 ----- (1)
(10Q + P) - (10P + Q) = 54
9(Q - P) = 54
(Q - P) = 6 ----- (2)
Solve (1) and (2) P = 1 and Q = 7
The required number is = 17

Q:

The ages of Sunil and Anil are in the ratio 8:7, after 6 years, the ratio of their ages will be 19 : 17. What is the difference in their present ages?

A) 10 years B) 6 years
C) 8 years D) 4 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 4 years

Explanation:

suppose the ages of Sunil and Anil are 8x yr and 7x yr, respectively.
After 6 yr, = 136x + 102 = 133x + 114
136x – 133x = 114 – 102
3x = 12 X = 12/3 = 4
Age of Sunil = 8x = 8 × 4 = 32 yr
Present age Anil = 7x = 7 × 4 = 28 yr
Required difference = (32 – 28) = 4 yr
