A number is divided into two parts in such a way that 80% of 1st part is 3 more than 60% of 2nd part and 80% of 2nd part is 6 more than 90% of the 1st part. Then the number is: |
130 135 140 145 |
135 |
ATQ, ⇒ 80% A - 60% B = 3 ..........(i) ⇒ -90% A + 80% B = 6 ..........(ii) (i) × 9 and (ii) × 8 and add, we get ⇒ 720% A - 540% B = 27 ⇒ -720% A + 640 % B = 48 ⇒ 100% B = 75 ⇒ B = 75 Value of B putting in equation (i) ⇒ 80% A - (60% × 75) = 3 ⇒ \(\frac{4}{5}\)A - \(\frac{3}{5}\) × 75 = 3 ⇒ \(\frac{4}{5}\)A - 45 = 3 ⇒ \(\frac{4}{5}\)A = 48 ⇒ A = 48 × \(\frac{5}{4}\) ⇒ A = 60 ⇒ Hence the number is (A + B) = 60 + 75 = 135 |
