Question

a number diminished by 10 and 10.find the number ​

Answer 1

The correct question is:

A number diminished by 10 gives 10. Find the number.

Given:

A number is reduced by 10

The resultant is 10

To find:

The unknown number

Solution:

Let the number be x

This gets reduced by 10 so, we can write

x-10

Again, as the resultant is also 10, we can write:

x-10= 10

Or, x= 20

Therefore, the unknown number is 20, which when diminished by 10 gives 10 as the resultant.
