Question:

If V1 : V2 = 1 : 2 and V1 + V2 = 147, then what is the value of V2 − V1?

Options:

48

56

98

49

Correct Answer:

49

Explanation:

If V1 : V2 = 1 : 2

V1 + V2 = 147,

then what is the value of V2 − V1.

Let the value of V1 and V2 = 1x and 2x

according to the question,

1x + 2x = 147

3x = 147

x = 49

V2 − V1 = 49 × 2 - 49 = 49
