1. If one number exceeds another number by 12 and the smaller number is 1/3 time the larger number, then the larger number is:

  • A. 25
  • B. 25
  • C. 25
  • D. 25

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the Larger number be X and the smaller number be X/3.

Then,  X - X/3 = 12

or,  2X/3 = 12

So,  X = 12×3/2 = 18
