Question

one out of two nos is thrice the other.if their sum is 124.find the nos

Answer 1

Let the smaller number be x

so other number will be 3x

so by the condition given in your question we get equation

x + 3x = 124

4x = 124

x = 124/4

x = 31

so 3x = 93

so your required numbers are 31 & 93
