Answer 1

Correct Question

630 articles are divided among A B and C such that a get three times of B and B gets 5 times of C find the number of articles received by B

Given

• 20 articles are divided among A B and C
• C gets three times of B
• B gets 5 times of C

Required to Find

number of articles received by B

Solution

Using Linear equations

C get 20 articles so B will get 20 × 5 = 100

Let c be x

So B will be 5x and A be 15x

so,

15x + 5x + X = 420

21x = 420

X = 420 ÷ 21

X = 20

Answer 2

Answer:

X=20

Step-by-step explanation:

15x+5x+x=420

21x=420

therefore,X=420/21=20
