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 5:3,find the number and find the number and the two parts.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let,

first part = x+10

second part = x

acc. to ques.

x+10 : x = 5:3

x+10/x = 5/3

after doing cross multiply

3x+30 = 5x

30 = 5x-3x

30 = 2x

30/2 = x

15 = x

first part = x+10 = 15+10 = 25

second part = x = 15

Number = 25+15 = 40 Ans.
