Question

A number is divided in to two parts such that one part is 10 more than the other. If the two parts are in rhe ratio 5:3, find the number and the two parts.

Answer 1

let the divider be x
5:3 = 5x and 3x

ATQ
5x - 3x = 10
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5

5x = 5 × 5 = 25
3x = 3 × 5 = 15

15 + 25 = 40

Answer 2

answer is 40 in the number of two parts
