Ans= 64

Let the digits of a two-digit number be x and y and the number be 10x+y, then
According to first condition: 10x+y= (x^2+y^2)+ 12 ----(i) and
According to second condition: 10x+y= 2xy+16 ----(ii)
Comparing (i) & (ii), (x^2+y^2)+ 12 = 2xy+16
=> x^2+y^2-2xy =4
=> (x-y)^2 = 4 or x-y= 2
Now checking for the combinations of x,y with difference of 2, and satisfying 1st and 2nd condition, we have x=6, y=4 , where 64= 6^2+4^2+12 and 64=2*6*4+16
