Correct Answer: 16


Solution : Let the bigger number be $x$ and the smaller number be $y$.
Given that $x-y=3951$-----------------(1)
Also, According to the question,
$x=y×12+13$
$⇒x-12y=13$-----------------------(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get,
$11y=3938$
⇒ $y = 358$
So, $x=3951+358=4309$
$\therefore$ The sum of the digits of the larger number = 4 + 3 + 0 + 9 = 16
Hence, the correct answer is 16.
