1. If one number exceeds another number by 13 and the larger number is 3/2 times the smaller number, then the smaller number is :

  • A. 13
  • B. 13
  • C. 13
  • D. 13

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

If we assume the smaller number to be n,

Then the larger number = 3n/2

 

As the larger number is 13 more than the smaller number, we can say

(3n/2) - n = 13

Or, (n/2) = 13

Or, n = 26
