Answer 2

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• Two numbers are in the ratio 5 : 7.

• The sum of numbers is 720.

To Find :-

• The number.

Step-by-Step-Explanation :-

Let the number be 5x and 7x

According to the conditions,

5x + 7x = 720

12x = 720

x = 720/12

x = 60

So,

The value of x is 60

Now,

5x = 5 × 60 = 300

7x = 7 × 60 = 420

Hence,

The respective numbers are 300 and 420.
