Question

If 3 times the larger of 2 nos.is divided by the smaller we get 4as quotient and 8 as remainder. If 5 times the smaller no. is divided by the larger we get 3 as quotient and 5 remainder. Find the nos.

Answer 1

let the larger no be x nd smaller no be y a/q 3x =4y +8 ,4y-3x+8=0--------1. 5y=3x +5 -5y+3x+5=0------2. from eqn 1 and 2 we get y=-13,x= -20
