Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be common ratio

∴ numbers will be 5x and 3x respectively.

Difference between these numbers ⇒18

5x−3x=18

2x=18

Divide both sides by 2.

2

2x

18

x=9

∴ First number =5x=5×9=45

• Second number =3x=3×

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (a) 20, 12

Given two numbers are in the ratio 5:3

So, let the numbers be 5x and 3x

Given, sum of the numbers is 32

Therefore, 5x + 3x = 32

=> 8x = 32

=> x = $\frac{32}{8}$

=> x = 4

Substituting the value of x

5x = 5(4) = 20

3x = 3(4) = 12
