विकल्प

• (19, 17)

• (6, 30)

• (26, 10)

• (12, 24)

Answer 1

The sum of 2 numbers is 36. One number is twice the other. Therefore, the numbers are (12, 24).

Explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and 2x, since one is twice the other,

Given:

x + 2x = 36

3x = 36

x = `36/3`

∴ x = 12

So, the two numbers are:

x = 12,

2x = 2(12) = 24

Therefore, the numbers are 12 and 24.
