Q47 of 113 Page 110

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

If the sum of two consecutive numbers is 93 and one of them is x, then the other number is 93 – x.

True

let number be ‘x’


then consecutive number be (x + 1)


now according to the question.


⇒ x + x + 1 = 93


⇒ 2x + 1 = 93


⇒ 2x = 93-1 (transposing 1 to RHS)


⇒ 2x = 92




⇒ So one number is 46


∴ other consecutive number be (46 + 1) = 47


⇒ Other number =



= 47


⇒ Hence, it is true.
