Question

Divide 120 into two parts such one - sixth of one part may exceed one-fourth of the other part by 10.

Answer should come 96 and 24 but you please solve it.

Don't give an irrelevant answer. ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You have asked to divide 36 into 2 parts.

Now, I know that there is a Mathematical solution to it and that there are many ways to depict the answer to be 12 & 24

But, what if I tell you that There is a different answer to this Question (read till the end).

Yes, but for that we need to understand what divide means. Divide is Breaking something into parts.

RIGHT!?

Now if you had 36 apples and you need to divide them into 2 parts such that 1 part is x2 of the other?

Then Mathematical answers using algebra and intuitions and all others are good.

But what if you want to Divide “Euphonius” into two parts with same requirement as above?

The answer could range from many variations. Let’s take “Euphon”(6 letters) and “ius”(3 letters) for now. I believe this is answer enough.

Here is where my “Ridiculously-bad-but-fun” answer comes into play

Check “36” : If I take 3 & 6:

Is it a break down of 36? Yes it is.

Is 6 double that of 3? Yes it is.

Can 3 & 6 be put together to form “36”? Yes of course.

Thus, my answer to the question is

We can divide 36 in ‘3’ & ‘6’ to have one part double that of the other.

Think out of the Box, to know more than the world already do.
