Question

sum of two positive number is 70. if the quotient obtained on dividing first number by the other is 4, find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x and y.
Then,
According to question

x+y = 70.....(i)
y/x = 4
y = 4x......(ii)

Putting this value on equation (i)
x+4x = 70
5x = 70
x = 70/5
x = 14

Putting thos value on equation(ii)
y = 4x
y = 4(14)
y = 56

So the numbers are 14 and 56.
