Answer 1

Original number = 36

parts of number = 12 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

given that,

a number is divided into two parts

let the number be x

such that one part is 12 more than the other

so,

let the one part of x be y

so,

if one part = y

then,

another number = y + 12

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION

x = y + y + 12

x = 2y + 12

x - 2y = 12. ....(2)

also given that,

the two parts in the ratio 1:2.

so,

parts are y and y + 12

y/(y + 12) = 1/2

2y = y + 12

2y - y = 12

y = 12

now,

putting the value of y on (1)

x - 2y = 12

x - 2(12) = 12

x - 24 = 12

x = 12 + 24

x = 36

y =12

parts of the number = y = 12

and, y + 12

= 12 + 12

= 24

so,

Original number = 36

parts of number = 12 and 24
