MCQ
The difference between two numbers is $26$ and one number is three times the other. The numbers are :
- A$36$ and $10$
- B$36$ and $12$
- C$30$ and $10$
- ✓$39$ and $13$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
$39$ and $13$
Let the two numbers be $x$ and $y$
According to question $, x - y = 26$ and $x = 3y$
Putting the value of $x$ in $x - y = 26,$
we get $, 3y - y = 26$
$\Rightarrow y = 13$ And $x = 3 \times 13 = 39$
$\therefore$ the two numbers are $13$ and $39$.
