a) 1165 & 572
b) 1245 & 402
c) 1255 & 462
d) 1265 & 472
correct answer is: d) 1265 & 472
Explanation
The sum of two numbers is 1737 .
Let, one number is ‘x’
Another number is ‘y’
According to the question,
x+y = 1737
\rightarrow x=\left(1737-y\right) —–(1)
And, x-y = 793
\rightarrow x=\left(793+y\right) —–(2)
From equation (1) and (2) we get,
\left(1737-y\right)=\left(793+y\right)
\rightarrow-y-y=793-1737 [interchange]
\rightarrow -2y=-944
\rightarrow y=\large\frac{-944}{-2}
\rightarrow y=472
\therefore x=\left(1737-472\right) [from equation (1)]
\rightarrow x=1265
\therefore One number is 1265 and another number is 472 .
Ans: The numbers are 1265 & 472.
