Question

There are two numbers. The smaller number is 32 less than the larger number. If the larger number is increased by 10, it will be 4 times that of the smaller number. Find the larger number.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the larger no be = a

Difference of the numbers = a - 32

As per the question;

(a + 32) = 5(a - 32)

⇒ a + 32 = 5a - 160

⇒ 128 = 4a

⇒ a = 32

∴ The larger no is 32.
