Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be x and 5x respectively

now,

x+5x=120

6x=120

x=120/6 =20

now,

first number=x=20

second number =5x=5*20=100

the  required numbers are 20 and 100

Answer 2

20 and 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept= Aptitude

Given= The number relation and their sum

To Find= The numbers

Explanation=

We have been given the problem as one number is five times the other .If their sum is 120 find the numbers.

We proceed in this question by taking the value of one number as variable or unknown.

Let the value of number be x.

Given that the second number is five times the first number.

So, the second number = 5*first number = 5*x =5x

The sum of these two numbers is mentioned as 120.

so, first number + second number = 120

=> x + 5x =120

=> 6x =120

=> x= 120/6

=> x= 20

Therefore the first number is 20.

The second number is five times the first.

=> 5*x = 5*20 =100.

Therefore the numbers are 20 and 100.
