Question

If there are two numbers in the ratio of 10:13 and their difference is 33.What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Let the no.s be 10x and 13x
ATQ
13x - 10x = 33
3x = 33
x = 11
First no. = 10x = 10(11) = 110
Second no. = 13x = 13(11) = 143

Answer 2

Let the two numbers be 10x and 13x.
:. 10x -13x = 33
-3x =33
x=33/-3
x= -11

10x= 10×-11= -110
13x= 13×-11= -143
