    Explanation:
    Let unit’s digit be x and ten’s digit by y
    Number formed = 10y + x  …(i)
    According to the question, 
    2y – 1 = x …(ii) 
    Also, (New number) – (Original number) 
    = Original number – 20 
    (10x + y) – (10y + x) = (10y + x) – 20 
    10x + y – 10y – x = 10y + x – 20 
    9x – 9y = 10y + x – 20 …(iii) 
    On substituting the value of x = 2y – 1 from equation (i), we get 
    9 (2y – 1) – 9y = 10y + 2y – 1 – 20
    ⇒ 18y – 9 – 9y = 10y + 2y – 1 – 20 
    ⇒ 3y = 12 
    y = 4 
    On putting the value of y in equation (ii), we get 
    x = 2 × 4 – 1  = 8 – 1 = 7 
    ∴ Required number 
    = 10y + x = 10 × 4 + 7  = 47
    Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
