Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the digit in the unit's place be y\displaystyle y.
Since the digit in the tens place is 3 times the unit's digit, the tens digit is 3y\displaystyle 3y.
The original number can be written as:
Original Number=10(3y)+y=31y\text{Original Number} = 10(3y) + y = 31y
If 54 is subtracted from the number, the digits are reversed. The reversed number is:
Reversed Number=10(y)+3y=13y\text{Reversed Number} = 10(y) + 3y = 13y
According to the question:
31y54=13y31y - 54 = 13y
18y=54    y=318y = 54 \implies y = 3
Thus, the units digit is 3\displaystyle 3 and the tens digit is 3(3)=9\displaystyle 3(3) = 9.
The original number is 93\displaystyle 93.
Checking: 9354=39\displaystyle 93 - 54 = 39 (digits reversed).
