Solution
Let units place digit be x and tens place digit be y.

Original number = 10y + x

Number obtained on interchanging the digits = 10x +y

By given conditond,

x+y = 11

10x +y = 10y +x - 63

9y - 9x = 63

y - x = 7

Solving the linear equations we get,

y=9 and x=2
Original number is 92 i.e option B.
