Question

If two numbers are in the ratio 4 : 5, if 3 is added to each number they becomes in the ratio 5 : 4. Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider that the no. are 4x:5x

now according to the question

=> 4x+3/5x+3 = 5/4

=> 16x+12 = 25x+15

=> 9x = 3

=> x = 1/3

then no. are => 4(1/3):5(1/3)

=> 4/3 and 5/3
