Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 321, 179

Given:

Total number = 500

One-third of first part = Second part – 72

Calculation:

Let the second part be x

According to question

(1/3) of First part = x – 72

⇒ First part = 3 × (x – 72) = 3x – 216

First part + Second part = 500

⇒ 3x – 216 + x = 500

⇒ 4x – 216 = 500

⇒ 4x = 716

⇒ x = 179

First part = 3x – 216 = 3 × 179 – 216 = 321

∴ The numbers are 321 and 179
