A) 25
B) 40
C) 70
D) 125
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Let the numbers be x and y. Then, \[\frac{1}{5}x=\frac{5}{8}y,\] \[\Rightarrow y=\frac{8}{25}x\] Now, \[x+35=4y\Rightarrow x+35=\frac{32}{25}x\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{7}{25}x=35\,x=\left( \frac{35\times 25}{7} \right)=125\] \[\therefore \]Second number \[y=\frac{8}{25}x=\left( \frac{8}{25}\times 125 \right)=40\]You need to login to perform this action.
