C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the digits be $ x $ and $ y $
Given, "The digit in the ten's place of a two-digit number is three times that in the one's places "
$ => x = 3y $ 

Now, when the digits are reversed, the number will be $ 10y + x $
Also,  if the digits are reversed the new number will be $ 36 $ less than the original number. $ => 10y + x = (10x + y) - 36 $
$ => 9x -9y = 36 $

Putting $ x = 3y $ in this,
$ 9(3y) -9y = 36 $
$ => 27y - 9y = 36 $
$ 18y = 36 => y = 2 $

So, $ x = 3y = 6 $
Hence, the number is $ 62 $
