Question
Solve the following simultaneous equation.
`x/3 + y/4 = 4; x/2 - y/4 = 1`

Solution
`x/3 + y/4 = 4` ...(I)
`x/2 - y/4 = 1` ...(II)
Multiplying (I) with LCM of 3 and 4 which is 12, we get,
4x + 3y = 48 ...(III)
Multiplying (II) with LCM of 2 and 4 which is 4, we get,
2x - y = 4 ...(IV)
Multiplying (IV) with 2,
4x - 2y = 8 ...(V)
Subtracting (V) from (III)
4x + 3y = 48
4x - 2y = 8
- + -
5y = 40
⇒ y = 8
Putting this value of y in (IV) we get,
∴ 2x - y = 4
⇒ 2x - 8 = 4
⇒ 2x = 12
⇒ x = 6.

The sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number.
Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place be y and the digit in the ten’s place be x.
∴ The number = 10x + y
∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = `square`
∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132
∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = `square`
∴ x + y = `square` ...(i)
By second condition,
Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2
∴ x – y = 2 ...(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii)
∴ x = `square`, y = `square`
Ans: The original number = `square`
