Solution

The correct option is A 52
Let 12 of the number = 10x+y and the number = 10V +W
From the given conditions, W = x and V = y-1
Thus, the number = 10(y-1)+x
Now, 2(10x+y) = 10(y-1)+x
8y19x=10 ..........(1)
Also,
V+W=7y1+x=7
x +y = 8 ........(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2), we get
x = 2 and y = 6
So, Number = 10(y-1)+x = 52.
Alternate Method:
Use options & check for the given conditions.
