A number is 2 more than thrice the second number and 4 times the smaller number is 5 more than the greater number. What is greater number ?

Correct Answer: 23

Explanation:

Let the greater and smaller number be p and q respectively.


4q = p + 5 ------ (I)


p = 3q+2 ------- (II)


From equation (I) and (II)


q = 7


p = 23
