Detailed Solution

Given, the two-digit number can be obtained by multiplying the sum of the digits by 8 and then subtracting 5.
Same number can be obtained by multiplying the difference of the digits by 16 and then adding 3.
Let us assume that the tenth’s place is x, and one’s place is y.
So, the two-digit number will be 10x+y  .
From the first condition, we get,
8 x+y 5=10x+y 8x+8y5=10x+y 2x7y=5               ....   (1)   And, according to the second condition, we get,
16 xy +3=10x+y 16x16y+3=10x+y 6x17y=3            ....  2  
On multiplying the equation (1) by 3 and subtracting equation (2) from it, we get,
6x21y6x+17y=15+3 4y=12 y=3  
On substituting the value = 3 in equation (1), we get,
2x7 3 =5 2x=5+21 2x=16 x=8   Thus, the two-digit number is,
10x+y 10 8 +3 83  
Hence, the correct option is 3.
