Question

Divide 60 into two parts such that 3 times the smaller part is equal to the larger part ?l​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let larger part be x

then smaller part will be 60−x

Now, According to question

3(60−x)=100+(200−9x)

⇒180−3x=100+200−9x

⇒6x=300−180

⇒6x=120

⇒x=20 and 60−x=60−20=40

So, the two parts of 60 satisfying given condition are 20 and 40.

Thank you

Answer 2

So, let the two parts be x and 3x ( 3 times smaller part is equal to larger part)

So x + 3x = 60

4x = 60

x= 60/4

x= 15

So smaller part is 15 and larger part is 45
