• Other number = 10 + M
» A number is divided into two parts such that one part in 10 more than the other. And they are in the ratio 5:3.
A.T.Q.
=> =
Cross-multiply them
=> 3(M + 10) = 5M
=> 3M + 30 = 5M
=> 5M - 3M = 30
=> 2M = 30
=> M = 15
______________________________
One number is M = 15
Other number = M + 10 = 15 + 10 = 25
Number = 15 + 25 = 40
