0 votes 0 votes Let the first part be x then the second part will be (96-x) A/q , x / 7 = (96-x)/9 on solving for x, we will get x = 42 So, first part will be 42 and the second part will be 54 clearly the smaller number is 42 Satyam answered Oct 8, 2018 Satyam 94 points comment Share See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
