Question

The sum of two numbers is 100 and greater number is 10 more than 4 times the smaller. What is the smaller number?​

Answer 1

12 is smallest number

Answer 2

Answer:

Let smaller number be S and greater number be G. Then it is given

G+S=. equation 1

G=10+4S

Put this value of G in equation 1

10+4S+S=100

5S=100-10=90

S=90/5=18

G=100-18=82

Whenever this type of question is there, assume first the number you have to find out, in this case S and G, then make the equation by reading word by word, then there will not be mistake.
