Question

let's p, q , r and s be the natural numbers such that p-2016=q+2017=r-2018=s+2019. which one of the following is the largest natural number ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3) r

Step-by-step explanation:

let us assume S=1

therefore, 1+2019=2020

p-2016=q+2017=r-2018=s+2019

4036-2016=3+2017=4038-2018=1+2019

2020=2020=2020=2020

r=4038 is the largest natural number

Answer 2

We know that the,

Given data:

s be the natural number

p-2016=q+2017=r-2018=s+2019

let us see,

consider S=1

Then,

r-2018=s+2019

r=2020+2018

=4038

q+2017=r-2018

q+2017=4038-2018

 so q=3

Now;

p-2016=q+2017

p-2016=3=2017

so p=4036

Now;

p-2016=q+2017=r-2018=s+2019

4036-2016=3+2017=4038-2018=1+2019

2020=2020=2020=2020

Hence,

p=4036

q=3

r=4038

s=1

In this the the largest natural number is r=4038.
