Sum of two numbers is 44. One number is 3 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?

Correct Answer: 11 and 33

Explanation:

Let the smaller number be 'm'


Then, from the given data, the larger number is '3m'


Given that m + 3m = 44


=> 4m = 44


m = 44/4 = 11


=> m = 11


=> 3m = 3 x 11 = 33


 


Hence, the two numbers are 11 and 33.
