Question
The average of two numbers is 12 more than the smaller
number among them. If the greater number is 150% more than the smaller number, then find the sum of the two numbers.Solution
Let the smaller number be 4x.
Greater = 2.5 × 4x = 10x.
ATQ, 4x + 12 = (4x + 10x)/2 = 7x
⇒ x = 4
Sum = 14x = 14 × 4 = 56.
