Correct option is (A) 36

Let the number be ab or (10a+b).

Given that ratio of two-digit number and the sum of digit of that number is 4 : 1.

\(\therefore\) \(\frac{10a+b}{a+b}=\frac41\)

\(\Rightarrow\) 10a+b = 4a+4b

\(\Rightarrow\) 6a = 3b

\(\Rightarrow\) b = 2a        _____________(1)

According to \(2^{nd}\) condition, we have

b = a+3          _____________(2)

\(\Rightarrow\) 2a = a+3          (From (1))

\(\Rightarrow\) a = 3

\(\therefore b=2\times3=6\)    (From (1))

Hence, the required number is ab = 36.
