Question

a string of length 221 metre is cut into two parts such that one part is 9/4th as long as the rest of the string, then the difference between the larger peice and the string peice is :
a) 58m
b) 53m
c) 85m
d) none of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let one part of string is x.

Now,

x + 9x/4 = 221 m

x = 68 meter

and, 9x/4= 153 m

Difference between two parts = 153 - 68 = 85m

Answer 2

$answer$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one part of string is x.

Now,

$x + \frac{9x}{4} = 221m \\ \\ \\ x = 68 \\ \\ \: and \: \: \frac{9x}{4} = 153 m$

Difference between two parts = 153 - 68 = 85m.
