Question

if 1 is added to each of two given numbers then their ratio is1:2 and if 5 is subtracted from each of the numbers the ratio is 5:11 find numbers

Answer 1

35 and 71

Step-by-step explanation:

let no. be x and y

now, (x+1)/(y+1)= 1/2

so 2x+2 =y+1

2x-y=-1

and (x-5)/(y-5)= 5/11

so 11x-55=5y-25

11x-5y=30

solving above equation

x=35 and y=71
