Question

1/5 of a number is equal to 5/8 of the second number if 35 is added to the first number then it becomes 4 times of second number what is the value of the second number

Answer 1

Heya mate...

Let the first no x

Second no=y

1x/5=5y/8

y=8x/25

ATQ

x+35=4(8x/25)

x+35=32x/25

25x+875=32x

7x=875

x=125

So second no = 40

Answer 2

Let the first number x

Second number=y

1x/5=5y/8

y=8x/25

so,

x+35=4(8x/25)

x+35=32x/25

25x+875=32x

7x=875

x=125

So, second number is 40
