Answer 1

Answer:

Raj has 40 more books than Ram. If together they have 180 books then the number of books Raj and Ram have respectively are 110 & 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's consider Raj as x + 40

and Ram as x

x + x + 40 = 180

2x = 180-40

x=140/2

x=70

then raj = x+40 = 70+40=110

and ram = x = 70

Answer 2

Answer:

No. of books ram has = x

No. of books Raj has= x+40

Total no. of books = 180

No. of books they have = x + x + 40 = 180

= 2x + 40 = 180

2x = 180 - 40

2x = 140

x = 140/2

x = 70

No. of books Ram has = 70 books

No. of books Raj has ( 40 more books ie. 70 more than 40 ) = 70 + 40 = 110 books

VERIFICATION

total books = 180

books raj has = 110

books ram has = 70

110+ 70 = 180
