  • Question
  • 54 is to be divided into two parts such that the sum of 10 times the first and 22 times the second is 780. The bigger part is :


  • Options
  • A. 24
  • B. 34
  • C. 30
  • D. 32

  • Correct Answer
  • 34 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the two parts be y and (54 - y).
    Then, According to question
    10(54 - y) + 22y = 780
    ? 540 - 10y + 22y = 780
    ? 12y = 780 -540
    ? 12y = 240
    ? y = 20.
    ? Bigger part = (54 - y) = (54 - 20) = 34
