Correct Answer: $36$


Solution : Let us assume that the digits of the number are $x$ and $y$ with $x$ in the ten's place.
The number is $10x+y$.
The digit in the unit's place is 3 more than the digit in the ten's place, i.e. $y=x+3$ ...(1)
The ratio between the two-digit number and the sum of the digits of that number is $4 : 1$.
$(10x+y):(x+y) = 4:1$
or, $10x+y = 4x+4y$
or, $y = 2x$
Substituting in (1), we get $2x = x+3$
$x = 3, y = 6$
The number is $36$.
Hence, the correct answer is $36$.
