Question

The difference between two numbers is 1000. on dividing the larger number with smaller, we get 16 as quotient and 25 as remainder. find the larger number.

Answer 1

Let the smaller number be x.
Then larger number = (x + 1000).
∴ x + 1000 = 16x + 25
⇒ 15x = 975
⇒ x = 65
ThereforeSmaller number = 65
