Number System
If all the fractions 3/10, 1/16, 4/11, 2/9, 1/7, 5/14 and 5/24 arranged in descending order of their values, then which one will be the third?
Let the number be 10x + y.∴ 10x + y - (10y + x) = 27or 9x - 9y = 27∴ x - y = 3 .......(I)x + y = 13 .......(II)From eqn (I) and (II)x = 8 and y = 5.So the number = 85Therefore, product = 8 x 5 = 40
