1) The tens digit is 3 more than the units digit.
2) The product of the two digits is 54.
\,A = 3k \hfill \\

\end{gathered} \right.\,\,\,\,\left( {k \in \left\{ {1,2,3} \right\}\,\,\left( * \right)\,} \right)\]
\[? = N\,\,\,\, \Leftrightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\boxed{\,? = k\,}\]
\[\left( 1 \right)\,\,3 = A - B = k\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,{\text{SUFF}}.\]
\[\left( 2 \right)\,\,54 = A \cdot B = 6{k^2}\,\,\,\,\,\mathop \Rightarrow \limits^{\left( * \right)} \,\,\,\,\,k = 3\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,{\text{SUFF}}.\]
This solution follows the notations and rationale taught in the GMATH method.

The OA D
The number can be one of the following: 32; 64; and 96.
Let's take each statement one by one.
1) The tens digit is 3 more than the units digit.
Only 96 qualifies. Sufficient.
2) The product of the two digits is 54.
Only 96 qualifies. Sufficient.
The correct answer: D
Hope this helps!
