Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the digit in the ten's place be x\displaystyle x and the digit in the unit's place be y\displaystyle y.
According to the first condition:
x=3y— (Equation 1)x = 3y \quad \text{--- (Equation 1)}
The original two-digit number is 10x+y\displaystyle 10x + y.
If 54 is subtracted from the number, the digits are reversed. The reversed number is 10y+x\displaystyle 10y + x.
According to the second condition:
(10x+y)54=10y+x(10x + y) - 54 = 10y + x
9x9y=549x - 9y = 54
xy=6— (Equation 2)x - y = 6 \quad \text{--- (Equation 2)}
Substitute Equation 1 (x=3y\displaystyle x = 3y) into Equation 2:
3yy=63y - y = 6
2y=6    y=32y = 6 \implies y = 3
Now find x\displaystyle x:
x=3(3)=9x = 3(3) = 9
The original number is:
10x+y=10(9)+3=9310x + y = 10(9) + 3 = 93
*(Note: The input key of 'b' (92) is incorrect as 93×2\displaystyle 9 \neq 3 \times 2 and subtracting 54 from 92 gives 38, which is not the reverse of 92. The mathematically correct option is C.)*
**Correct Option: (c)**
