    x + y = 120 ....... (i)

    x
    = 5
    y

    ⇒  x = 5y
    From, equation (i),
    5y + y = 120
    ⇒  6y = 120 ⇒  y = 20
    ∴  x = 120 – 20 = 100
    ∴  Difference = 100 – 20 = 80

    Correct Option: C

    Let the unknown number be x.
    ∴  71   x + 47 = 98 × 7
    ⇒  71x = 686 – 47 = 639

    ⇒ x =
    639
    = 9 = 3 × 3
    71

    Correct Option: D

    Let the unknown number be x.
    ∴  71   x + 47 = 98 × 7
    ⇒  71x = 686 – 47 = 639

    ⇒ x =
    639
    = 9 = 3 × 3
    71

    461 + 462 + 463
    = 461 (1 + 4 + 42)
    = 461 × 21 which is divisible by 3.

    Correct Option: A

    461 + 462 + 463
    = 461 (1 + 4 + 42)
    = 461 × 21 which is divisible by 3.
