Answer:
let the two numbers are x and y
then,
x/y = 3/5
x=(3y) /5. ......(1)
also,
(x+10)/(y+10) = 5/7
7(x+10)=5(y+10)
7x = 5y+50-70=5y-20
put the value of x from eq. (1)
7(3y/5) =5y - 20
21y =25y - 100
25y-21y = 100
y = 100/4
y =25
put the value of y in eq.(1)
x = (3×25)/5
x=15
hence , the numbers are 15 and 25
I hope this will help you...

Step-by-step explanation:
2 number are in ratio=3:5=3x/5x
when each is increased by 5 then they are in the ratio=2:3=2/3
3x+5/5x+5=2/3
cross multiplication
(3x+5)×3=(5x+5)×2
9x+15=10x+10
15-10=10x-9x
5=x
then
3x=3×5=15
5x=5×5=25
the numbers are=15,25
