Answer 2

ok, so one way to do this is to try the options (since we are given options)
we see that all of them are equal to 8 when added

now compare the reverses
well the original number has to be greater than the reversed number so therefor A is the reverse of D and C is the reverse of B

so see C and D

53-35=18
62-26=36


the original numer is 53

C is answer
