lesser than the original number by 54. If the sum of the two digits of the number is
12, then what is the original number?
The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 7. If 9 is added to the number, the
digits interchange their places. Find the number
Answer :
34
So, 6x + 4 = 4(x+4)
or, 6x + 4 = 4x + 16
or, 2x = 12
or, x = 6
So, 6x = 6*6 = 36
Ravish owns a plot of rectangular shape. He has fenced it with a wire of length 750
m. The length of the plot exceeds the breadth by 5 m. Find the length and breadth
of the plot.
X+Y=200
100x+500y=80000
Solving simultaneously
100x+100y=20000
100x+500y=80000
Hence x=50
The perimeter of a rectangular plot of land is 80 m and its breadth is 16 m . Find
the length and area of the plot .
Solution :
Let the digit in the units place be x. Then the digit in the tens place is (9−x)(9-x)
The number is 10(9−x)+x=90−9x10(9-x)+x=90-9x
The number formed by interchanging the digits is 10x+9−x=9x+910x+9-x=9x+9
Given that 90−9x−27=9x+990-9x-27=9x+9
⇒x=3⇒x=3
∴∴ Units digit is 3, tens digit is 9−3=69-3=6, and the number is 63
Find a number such that when 5 is subtracted from 5 times the number,
the result is 4 more than twice the number.
In a box, the total number of Rs. 2 coins and Rs. 5 coins is 20. If the total
coins amount to Rs. 76, find the number of coins of each denomination.
ANSWER
Let the number of Rs. 2 coins and Rs. 5 coins be x and y respectively.
x+y=20
2x+5y=76
Solving these equations, we get,
x=8 and y=12
Therefore, number of Rs. 2 coins = 8 and number of Rs. 5 coins = 12.
