Question 2

The difference between two numbers is 1146. When we divide the larger number by smaller we get 4 as quotient and 6 as remainder. Find the larger number.

Solution

Let the smaller number be $$x$$ and the larger number = $$(x+1146)$$

According to ques, on dividing the larger term by smaller one,

=> $$(x+1146)=4x+6$$

=> $$4x-x=1146-6$$

=> $$3x=1140$$

=> $$x=\frac{1140}{3}=380$$

$$\therefore$$ Larger number = $$380+1146=1526$$

=> Ans - (A)
