Question

Lalit’s weight is two times the weight of Sumit. Find Lalit’s weight if sum of their weights is 84 kg.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sumit's weight be x.

Therefore, Lalit's weight= 2x

According to question,

x + 2x = 84 kg

=> 3x = 84 kg

=> x = 84/3 kg = 28 kg ( Sumit's weight)

Lalit's weight = 2x = 2×28 kg = 56 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

LET sumit's weight be x.

Therefore, Lalit weight is = 2x.

Now,

ACC. to Question,

x + 2x = 84 kg

$=> \: x = \frac{84}{3} kg$

=> x = 28 kg

THEREFORE, sumit's weight is 28 kg.

Lalit's weight = 2x = 2×28 = 56 kg.
