Number System
A trader sells 40 metres of cloth for Rs 8,200 at a profit of Rs 25 per metre of cloth. How much profit will the trader earn on 40 metres of cloth ?
S.P. per metre = 8200/40 = Rs. 205∴ C.P. per metre = Rs. (205 - 25) = Rs. 180∴ C.P. of 40 metre cloth= Rs. (40 x 180) = Rs. 7200∴ Gain = Rs. (8200 - 7200) = Rs. 1000
Let the digits be x and yTherefore, x + y = 12 .............(1)(10y + x) - (10x + y) Therefore, y - x = 4............. (2)Solving (1) and (2), y = 8 Therefore, x = 4There are two possible numbers 48 and 84. So the lowest no. is 48.
