Suppose commodity X wil cost 40 paise more than Y after Z years.Then, (4.20 + 0.40Z) - (6.30 + 0.15Z) = 0.40 0.25Z = 0.40 + 2.10 Z= X will cost 40 paise more than Y 10 years after 2001 . i.e in 2011
Let X and Y are given fractions.Given that, fraction X is thrice the fraction Y;i.e., X = 3Y ...(1)And their product = X x Y = 25/12Sub. eqn (1) in above,(3Y)x(Y) = 25/123(Y²) = 25/12(Y²) = 25/36Y = 5/6Hence the required fraction is 5/6.
