The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other. Find them.
उत्तर
Let the numbers are x and y. One of them must be greater than or equal to the other. Let us assume that x is greater than or equal to y.
The difference between the two numbers is 26. Thus, we have `x-y =26`
One of the two numbers is three times the other number. Here, we are assuming that x is greater than or equal to y. Thus, we have `x =3y`
So, we have two equations
`x - y =26`
`x = 3y`
Here x and y are unknowns. We have to solve the above equations for x and y.
Substituting `x = 3y` from the second equation in the first equation, we get
` 3y -y =26`
`⇒ 2y = 26`
`⇒ y = 26/2`
`⇒ y = 13`
Substituting the value of y in the first equation, we have
` x -13 =26`
`⇒ x = 13 +26 `
`⇒ x = 39`
Hence, the numbers are 39 and 13.
