Q:

Sum of two numbers is 44. One number is 3 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?

A) 11 and 4 B) 3 and 11
C) 11 and 33 D) 40 and 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11 and 33

Explanation:

Let the smaller number be 'm'

Then, from the given data, the larger number is '3m'

Given that m + 3m = 44

=> 4m = 44

m = 44/4 = 11

=> m = 11

=> 3m = 3 x 11 = 33

 

Hence, the two numbers are 11 and 33.
