1. The sum of the two numbers is 22. Five times one number is equal to 6 times the other. The bigger of the two numbers is:
- A. 10
- B. 10
- C. 10
- D. 10
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Solution:
Let the two number is x and y,
Given that,
5x = 6y………..(i) ; (here x is the bigger one)
x + y = 22 ……(ii)
Now, from equation (ii),
x + y = 22
=> 6x + 6y = 22*6 ; ( Multiplying both sides by 6)
=> 6x + 5x = 132 ; ( from equation (i) )
=> 11x = 132
=> x =132 / 11
=> x = 12
