(c) [Diamond] = 80, [Square] = 20
(d) [Diamond] = 80, [Square] = 60
Answer: (b) [Diamond] = 70, [Square] = 30
Checking option (b):
\(30 + 70 = 100\)
\(70 - 30 = 40\) - wait, let us re-check: \(70 - 30 = 40\), but equation says 20! Let us test option (c):
If [Diamond] = 60 and [Square] = 40? Let us check option (c): [Diamond] = 80, [Square] = 20.
\(20 + 80 = 100\)
\(80 - 20 = 60\) (not 20). Let us test [Diamond] = 60, [Square] = 40.
Let us solve: sum = 100, difference = 20.
Larger number = \((100 + 20) \div 2 = 60\) ([Diamond] = 60)
Smaller number = \((100 - 20) \div 2 = 40\) ([Square] = 40).
Looking at option (d): [Diamond] = 80, [Square] = 60 - wait, options in OCR: (a) [Diamond]=60, [Square]=4 (b) [Diamond]=70, [Square]=30 (c) [Diamond]=80, [Square]=20 (d) [Diamond]=80, [Square]=60. Let us check if there's any typo in test paper, but mathematically [Diamond] = 60, [Square] = 40. Since 60 - 40 = 20 and 60 + 40 = 100.
In simple words: Find two numbers that add up to 100 and have a difference of 20.
