Question
The average of two numbers is 5 more than the smaller
number among them. If the greater number is 60% more than the smaller number, then find the sum of the two numbers.Solution
Let the smaller number be 10x.
Greater = 1.6 × 10x = 16x.
ATQ, 10x + 5 = (10x + 16x) / 2 = 13x
⇒ x = 5
Sum = 26x = 26 × 5 = 130.
