Answer 1

the answer is 463

Answer 2

Answer 3

i posted this question once and no one gave the steps so i reposted it

Answer 4

Answer 5

Please don't start a new thread about this question. This is already been discussed ad nauseam in that earlier thread and we have explained it you why this question is not correct.

Answer 6

hey question is not wrong............

Answer 7

u say it is wrong becozz u cant solve it

Answer 8

according to the problem,
3248 = xy +7 and
4175 = xz +8 where "x" is the divisor and y,z are the respective quotients.

divide both the equations.
you get y/z = 7/9

Answer 9

are you clear until now?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

@chand: He thinks that you got it, you might like to explain your standpoint.

Answer 12

yes i knw i suggested this method earlier u se..

Answer 13

chand plzz go on

Answer 14

so, let y = 7 and z = 8. this satisfies the equation and gives us x= 463

Answer 15

Pheww :/ I am out of this thread.

Answer 16

how on dividing we get y/z=7/9

Answer 17

xy = 3241 and xz = 4167. divide these

Answer 18

ok then how y = 7 and z = 8

Answer 19

basically the question you typed is wrong. you said, " when the number is divided by 3248 and 4175" it should've been " when 3248 and 4175 are divided by "


let y = 7k and z=8k. the only value of k satisfying the equation is k=1. so we take y=7 and z=8

Answer 20

ok thzzz plzzz help http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/4fad2c5be4b059b524f8b3f7

Answer 21

oh sorry i typed it wrong

Answer 22
