Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
Let the number be x,
Then, 4x/5 - 2x/3 = 8
? (12x - 10x) / 15 = 8
? 2x = 120
? x = 60
Correct Answer: 2/3
Explanation:
Let the required fraction be x/y
Then, x/(y + 1) = 1/2
? 2x - y = 1 ...(1)
(x + 1) / y = 1
? x - y = -1 ...(2)
Solving Eq. (1) and (2)
We get x = 2, y = 3
? The fraction is 2/3
Correct Answer: 27
Explanation:
Let the number be a and b.
Then, (a + b) = (a2 -b2) / (a-b)
= 135/5
= 27
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Let the number be a and b
Then, (a-b) = (a2 - b2) / a+b
= 145/29
= 5
Correct Answer: 136, 144
Explanation:
Let the number be x and (x + 8)
Then, 1/8[x + (x + 8)] = 35
? 2x + 8 = 280
? 2x = 270
? x = 136
So, the number are 136 and 144.
Correct Answer: 200
Explanation:
Let the number be N.
Then, (N/5) + 5 = (N/4) - 5
? (N/4) - (N/5) = 10
? (5N - 4N)/20 = 10
? N = 200
Correct Answer: 23
Explanation:
Let the number be a and b .
Then, (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
= 289 + 2 x 120
= 289 + 240
= 529
? a+b = ?529 = 23
Correct Answer: 22
Explanation:
Let the number be a and b.
Then, a2 + b2 = 80
and (a - b)2= 36
? a2 + b2 - 2ab = 36
? 2ab = (a2 + b2)-36
= 80 - 36= 44
? Product = ab = 22
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
Let the other number be x.
Then, 10 + x = 2(x - 10)
? x = 30
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let the number be N,
Then 4N/5 = 64
? N = 64 x 5/4 = 80
? Half of the number = 80/2 = 40
