Question

If the difference between two numbers is 36and one number is 4 times the other number, then the numbers are

Answer 1

Answer:

Let ,  

The first number = x  

Then , the second number = y

According to the question ,

x - y = 36

x = 36+y    --(1)

x = 4y     --(2)

Putting value of x from (1) in (2)

36+y = 4y

36 = 3y

y = 12

So x = 4y = 4*12 = 48

Therefore , the required numbers are 12 and 48
