Question

96 is divided into two parts in such a way that seventh part of first and ninth part of second are equal. Find the smallest part ?

A) 42 B) 54 C) 46 D) 58

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's the solution.

Given that 96 is divided into two parts. Let that be x+y=96.

Next,seventh part of ‘x’ and ninth part of ‘y’ are equal. Then, x/7 = y/9. Rearranging the eqn, we get x=7y/9.

Substituting x value in the very first equation and solving for y gives y=54 and substituting value of y for x gives x=42. The smaller of two is definitely 42. So the answer is 42.
