Number System
The sum of the numbers is 264. If the first number be twice the second and third number be one-third of the first, then the second number is:
Let the number be 10x + y∴ 3x = 4y ......(1)From (I),x + y = 14 .....(2)Solving equations (1) and (2),x = 8, y = 6∴ Number = 86 From (II)y = 75/100 x x ∴ 3x = 4y.Which is the same as eqn (1)
