Question

A no is divided into two parts such that 1 part is 10 more than the other . If the 2 parts are in the ratio 5:3 .Find the numbers ​

Answer 1

Answer:

As per statement a number is divided into two parts, such that one part is 10 more than the other.

Let the first part of the number be x then the second part of the number is x + 10

According to the statement again, if the two parts are in the ratio 5 : 3, the number and the two parts to be calculated.

5 : 3 can be written as 5/3, Accordingly

x + 10 / x = 5 / 3

Cross multiplication

5x = 3x + 30

5x - 3x = 30

2x = 30

x = 30 / 2

x = 15

One part of the number is 15.

The other part is 10 more than one part, means

x + 10 = 15 + 10 = 25

The two parts are 15 and 25

And the number is x + x + 10 or 15 + 15 + 10= 40

Answer the two divided parts are 15 and 25 and the number is 40.
