Numbers Q5

5.The sum of two numbers is 22. Five times one number is equal to 6 times the other. The bigger of the two numbers is

             A.  10                        B.  12

             C.  15                        D.  16

Answer:

Let the numbers be x and (22 - x).

Then, 5x = 6(22 - x)

‹=› 11x = 132

x= 12.
