• The smaller number of two numbers is 34.

Explanation :

We are given with the sum of two numbers is 153, and the two numbers are in the ratio 2:7.

We have to find out the smaller number of two numbers$.$

Now,

Let us assume that, the two numbers is 2x and 7x respectively.

⠀

According to the given question,

Sun of two numbers is 153.

⇒ 2x + 7x = 153

⇒ 9x = 153

⇒ x = 153/9

⇒ x = 17

Therefore,
