Question

a number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more than the other. lf the two parts are in the ratio 5:3,find the number and the two parts.

Answer 1

let the first part be 5x

then the second part will be 3x

it is clear that 3x will b small no. it is also given that number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more than the otherso,

acc. to ques.,

5x = 3x + 10

5x-3x=10

2x=10

x=10/2

x=5

now first no. is 5x

5(5)

25

and second no. is 3x

3(5)

15

now the no. is 15+25=40

Answer 2

ANSWER
========

Given
---------

A number is divided into two parts, such that

The parts are in the ratio = 5 : 3

Difference between the numbers = 10

Solution
-------------

Let the numbers be 5x and 3x

THE EQUATION FORMED
---------------------------------------

=> 5x - 3x = 10

=> 2x = 10

=> x = 10/2

=> x = 5

ANS
-------

The two parts are :

5x = 5 × 5 = 25 ANS

3x = 3 × 5 = 15 ANS

The number is :

25 + 15 = 40 ANS
