Question

A number is divided in to 2 parts such that one part is 10 more than other.Of the two parts are in the ratio 5:3 find the number and rwo parta

Answer 1

let the no. be x

the other number=x+10

a/q

x/x+10=5/3

3x=5x+50

3x-5x=50

-2x=50

x=-50/2

x=-25

and now you put the value of x you will get the answer

Answer 2

solution:

       let one part of number = x

           therefore ,  other part of number = x+10

   according to question ,

             x+10/x=5/3

           3(x+10)= 5x

           3x+30 =5x

             30 = 5x -3x

             30 = 2x

     or x=30/2

         x=15

therefore one part of number = 15 

and other part = 15+10 =25

hence number = 15+25 =40 

hope this helps you!!!
