Question

Divide 184 into two parts such that one-third of one part may exceed one-seventh of the other part by 8.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let the first part be x. Then, the second part = (184 - x). According to the question, one-third of the first part exceeds one-seventh of the second part by 8: First part = x = 72. Second part = (184 - x) = (184 - 72) = 112. Hence, the two parts are 72 and 112.
