Question

e) A sum of Rs 190 is divided into two parts. If the smaller part is Rs 5 less than hal
of the greater part, find the parts of the sum.
​

Answer 1

190Rsis two parts 85+85=190-5

Answer 2

greater part is x

smaller part is x/2-5

total is 190

x+(x/2-5)=190

x+(x-10)/2=190

(2x+x-10)/2=190

(3x-10)/2=190

3x-10=190×2

3x-10=380

3x=380+10

3x=390

x=390/3

x=130

greater part =130

smaller part =x/2-5=130/2-5=120/2=60
