Question

The difference of two number is 72 Whem one divide quoeint 3 Find numbers

Answer 1

Correct Question :

The difference of two number is 72. When one number is divided by other gives 3 as quotient Find the two numbers

$\huge\mathfrak\blue{Answer:}$

Given:

• We have been given two numbers whose difference is 72
• When one number is divided by the other gives 3 as quotient

To Find:

• We have to find the given numbers

Solution:

Let first number = x

=> second number = ( x + 72 )

According to the Question

$= > \dfrac{( x + 72)}{x} = 3$

Cross Multiplying the terms

$= > x + 72 = 3x$

$= > 3x - x = 72$

$= > 2x = 72$

$= > x = \dfrac{72}{2}$

$= > x= 36$

First number (x) = 36

Second number (x+72) = 108

Hence the two given numbers are 36 and 108

_________________________

VERIFICATION :

$= > 108 - 36 = 72$

$= > \dfrac{108}{36} = 3$

Hence Verified !!!

Solution:

Let first number = x

According to the Question

x

(x+72)

=3

Cross Multiplying the terms

= > x + 72 = 3x=>x+72=3x

= > 3x - x = 72=>3x−x=72

= > 2x = 72=>2x=72

= > x = \dfrac{72}{2}=>x=

2

72

= > x= 36=>x=36

First number (x) = 36

Second number (x+72) = 108

Hence the two given numbers are 36 and 108

VERIFICATION :

= > 108 - 36 = 72=>108−36=72

= > \dfrac{108}{36} = 3=>

36

108

=3

Hence Verified !!!
