Answer:
63, the third option is the right answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two numbers are in the ratio 7:9
Therefore, if one number is 7x, then the other is 9x.
According to the problem,
7x + 9x = 112
=> 16x = 112
∴ x = 7
∴ the larger number is 9x = (9).(7) = 63
∴ The third option is the right answer.
