Q:
The difference between two numbers is 25. The smaller number is 1/6th of the larger number. What is the value of the smaller number?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) 5
Explanation: Let the larger number be p
Then, smaller number = 1/6 x p = p/6
Given difference between two numbers = 25
p - p/6 = 25
5p/6 = 25
5p = 150
p = 30
Then, p/6 = 30/6 = 5
Hence, larger number = 30 and smaller number = 5 which makes the difference = 25.
