Answer:
Length of Rope 1 = 15 meters
Length of Rope 2 = 25 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets say length of rope 1 = L₁
and the length of rope 2 = L₂
Using the given information,
L₁ + L₂ = 40 ....................................(Eq. 1)
L₂ = L₁ + 10 .....................................(Eq. 2)
substituting Eq. 2 in Eq. 1,
L₁ + L₁ + 10 = 40
2L₁ + 10 = 40
2L₁ = 30
Thus, L₁ = 15
Length of Rope 1 = 15 meters
Length of Rope 2 = 25 meters
