Question

a number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more than the other if the two parts are in the ratio 5 is to 3 find the number and two parts

Answer 1

Let the parts be 5a and 3a

According to question

5a - 3a = 10

=> 2a = 10

=> a = 5

First part = 5 × 5 = 25

Second part = 3 × 5 = 15

Number = 25 + 15 = 40

Answer 2

Let the parts be 5x and 3x

According to the given information,

5x= 3x+ 10

5x-3x =10

2x =10

x= 10/2

x= 5

Now,

number is 

5x+3x

5(5) + 3(5)

= 25+ 15

= 40

40 is the required number
