Correct Answer - Option 2 : 4

Concept used:

A digit can not be more than 9

Calculation:

Let the digit in the 10th place and unit place are a and b respectively.

So, the two-digit number is 10a + b.

According to the question,

10a + b + 45 = 10b + a

⇒ 10b + a = 10a + b + 45

⇒ 9b = 9a + 45

⇒ 9b = 9(a + 5)

⇒ b = a + 5 

For a = 1, b = 6

a = 2, b = 7

a = 3, b = 8

a = 4, b = 9

∴ There are 4 such two-digit numbers are possible.
