Answer 2

Answer:

Given 2 numbers are in the ratio 3:5

so let the smaller number be 3x

and larger number be 5x

Given their sum is 96

Hence, 3x + 5x = 96

→ 8x = 96

→ x = 96/8

→ x = 12

Therefore first number is 3x = 3×12 = 36

& Second Number is 5x = 5×12 = 60

The larger number is hence 60

Option C is the right Answer.
