Question

The no of skirts is 2 less than twice the no of pants also the no of skirts is 4 less than 4 times the no of pants. find pants and skirts

Answer 1

Let the no. of Pants be x

⇒ The no. of Skirts = 2x - 2

Also The no. of Skirts = 4x - 4

Since the no. of Skirt is obviously same ,

⇒ 4x - 4 = 2x - 2

⇒ 4x - 2x = 4 - 2

⇒ 2x = 2

⇒ x =1

So No. of pant = 1

No. Of Skirt = 0
