Question

The difference between numbers is 36 and one number is four times the other . Find the smallest number

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

let the numbers be 'x'

One number is four times the other

one number=4x

other number=x

difference between the numbers=36

As per sum,

4x-x =36

3x=36

x=36/3

=12

Therefore the the smallest number(x) =12

CHECK:

4*12-12=48-12

= 36
