choice

A compare result that a divided by 5

B a divided by 11

which one is larger? A or B? How to solve that

Answer 1

Let 'a' be any given number greater than 1000 .

Now , we have -

A = 'a' is divided by 5

i.e.,

and

B = 'a' is divided by 11 .

i.e.,

Now , we have to compare which is greater , A or B , i.e.,

For this , we will cross multiply , and compare , i.e.,

i.e.,

Clearly , 11a is greater than 5a , therefore ,

i.e.,

Thus , A is larger than B .
