Question

The page numbers showing on an open book are consecutive integers with a sum of 223. Find the two page numbers

Answer 1

The two page numbers are 111,112.

Explanation:

Given : The page numbers showing on an open book are consecutive integers with a sum of 223.

To find : The two page numbers ?

Solution :

Let the two consecutive integers showing the page numbers be 'n' and 'n+1'.

The page numbers showing on an open book are consecutive integers with a sum of 223.

i.e.
`n+n+1=223`

`2n=223-1`

`2n=222`

`n=(222)/(2)`

`n=111`

Now, n+1=111+1=112

Therefore, the two page numbers are 111,112.
