Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The number = 37

To find :-

Divide 37 into two parts so that 5 times one part and 11 times the other are together 227?

Solution :-

Given number = 37

Let the first part of the number be X

Then ,The second part = 37-X

5 times the first part = 5X

11 times the second part = 11(37-X)

=> 407-11X

On adding both parts

=> 5X+407-11X

=> 407-6X

According to the given problem

Their sum = 227

=> 407-6X = 227

=> -6X = 227-407

=> -6X = -180

=> 6X = 180

=> X = 180/6

=> X = 30

The first part = 30

The second part = 37-30 = 7

Answer:-

The required two parts are 30 and 7
