Question

The weight of Raju is 5 kg less than double the weight of Vinod. If the total weight of both is 40 kg, prepare the equation to find out the weight of each one.

Answer 1

let the weight of vinod be x kg
weight of raju = 2x-5 kg
sum of their weight = 40 kg
= x+ 2x-5 = 40
=3x = 45
= x = 15kg

WEIGHT OF VINOD IS 15 KG
WEIGHT OF RAJU IS 40-15 = 25 KG
