If the sum of the two numbers is 120 and their quotient is 5, then the difference of the two numbers is–
-
- 115
- 100
- 80
- 72
Correct Option: C
Let p and q are two numbers .
According to question ,
p + q = 120 ....... (i)
| = 5 | |
| q |
⇒ p = 5q
From, equation (i),
5q + q = 120
⇒ 6q = 120 ⇒ q = 20
∴ p = 120 – 20 = 100
∴ Required difference = 100 – 20 = 80
