Problems On Numbers
1. The sum of the two number is 160. If one-third of the one exceeds one-seventh of the other by 10. Find the smaller number.
Solution:
Let one number be x and other be (160-x).
(x/3) - (160-x)/7 = 10 [Given condition]
7x-3(160-x) = 10
7x-480+3x = 10
10x= 490
x=49
The two numbers are 49 and 160-x=(160-49) = 111.
The smaller number is 49.
2. The difference of two numbers is 8 and one-sixth of their sum is 12. Find the numbers.
Solution:
Let the numbers be x and y respectively.
x-y = 8
(x+y)/6 = 12
x+y = 72
By solving the highlighted equations, we get x = 40 and y = 32.
These are the required 2 numbers.
