The sum of 2 numbers is 465. Their difference is 113. What is the smallest number of them?

A. 167

B. 214

C. 193

D. 176

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Total Money = 10350
Let no of 50 rupees note = X
Then, 500 rupees note = 36 - X
Now,
50 * X + 500 * (36 - X) = 10350
50X + 18000 - 500X = 10350
- 450X = - 7650
X = 17.
Number of 50 rupees note = 17.

    Let two numbers are X and Y.
    Now,
    X + Y = 465 ----------------- (1)
    X - Y = 133 ------------------ (1)

    Adding both equation,
    2X = 465 + 133
    X = 299.
    Then other Number is,
    465 - 299 = 166.
    Smallest Number = 166.
