Mathematics Set-3: Arithmetic Operations
Question 1
The sum of two numbers is 48 and their difference is 12. Find the numbers.
(1) 30 and 18
(2) 25 and 23
(3) 24 and 24
(4) 32 and 16
Show Answer
Answer: (4)
Solution: Let the numbers be $ x $ and $ y $.
From the question:
$ x + y = 48 $
$ x - y = 12 $
Adding both equations:
$ 2x = 60 \Rightarrow x = 30 $
Substituting $ x = 30 $ in $ x + y = 48 $:
$ 30 + y = 48 \Rightarrow y = 18 $
Thus, the numbers are 30 and 18.
