Answer 1

Answer:

20 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

because....20=2, 30=3

so 20+30=50

Answer 2

Let the given 2 numbers be

• 2x and
• 3x

In the given question,

The 2 numbers sum up to 50.

So,

2x + 3x = 50

⇒ 5x = 50

⇒ x = 50 ÷ 5

⇒ x = 10

For finding the 2 numbers:

• 2x = 2(10) = 20
• 3x = 3(10) = 30

∴ The 2 numbers are 20 and 30

★ VERIFICATION:

The 2 numbers so obtained are in the ratio which can be observed.

Sum of 2 numbers = 50

⇒ 20 + 30 = 50

⇒ 50 = 50
