Question

divide 840 into two parta, one of which is 10/11 of the other

Answer 1

let the smaller quantity be x
x + 10x/11 =840
21x/11=840
x=(840x11)/21
x=440

1st=440
2nd= 400

Answer 2

According to the question,
10/11x+x=840
Or, (10x + 11x)/11= 840
Or, 10x + 11x = 840×11
Or, 21x = 9240
Or, x = 9240/21
Or, x = 440.

Therefore, one of the number is 440 and the other is 10/11 of 440
= 10/11 × 440
= 4400/11
= 400.

Now the correct answer is : 440 and 400.
