Question

16. Difference of two whole numbers is 33 and its ratio is 2:5 then find those numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 55 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the value of the numbers be x

Ratio of numbers = 2 : 5

Difference of the values of the two numbers = 5x - 2x = 3x ( 5x has come

                                                                           before because it is bigger )

Difference of the two whole numbers = 33

3x = 33

x = 33/3

x = 11

2x = 2×11 = 22

5x = 5 × 11 =55

∴ The two numbers are 55 and 22
