Question

17. Two numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6. When 2 is added to first and 3 is added to
second, they are in the ratio 4:5. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Ratio in two numbers =5:6

Let first number =5x

Then second number =6x

Adding 2 in the first and 3 4 in the second

A=5x+2

B=6x+3

6x+3/5x+2= 4/5(by Criss cross method)

25x+10=24x+12

25x−24x=12−10

x=2

Fisr number =5x=5×2=10

and second =6x=6×2=12
