Question

one number is speeds another number by 36 . the sum of number is 48 then the number are.

Answer 1

As both the numbers have the highest common factor 12 it clearly means that the both the numbers are the multiples if 12

So let the numbers be 12x and 12y

As given their sum is 84

ATQ,12x+12y=84

12 (x+y)=84

x+y=7

So the number of pairs with 7 as their sum are (1,6),(2,5),(3,4)

That is three pairs

So the numbers are (12,72),(24,60), (36,48)

Hope it helpss
