Assume
The two numbers be p and n
p : n = 3 : 5
5p = 3n
Hence
(p + 10) : (n + 10) = 5 : 7
7(p + 10) = (n + 10)5
7p + 70 = 5n + 50
7p + 70 - 50 = 5n
7p + 20 = 5n ........... (2)
21n + 100 = 25n
100 = 25n - 21n
100 = 4n
25 = n
Hence,
n = 25
p = 3 × 5
p = 15
= 15 and 25

Answer:
15 and 25 are the original numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.
Acc to question
3x+10=5x and 5x+10=7x
5x-3x=10
2x=10
x=5
Original Numbers-
3x=5*3=15
5x=5*5=25
Verify-
3x+10=5x
15+10=5x
25=25
Hence Verified
