Answer 1

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio between 2 numbers is 3:4 then let the numbers be 3x and 4x

According to the question, their sum is 420

So,

3x + 4x = 420

7x = 420

x = 60

Now first number ->

3x = 3 x 60 = 180

Second number ->

4x = 4 x 60 = 240

The 2 numbers are 180 and 240

The greatest among them is 240

Hope This Helps You!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let two numbers be 3x & 4x.

According to question,

3x+4x = 420

7x = 420

X = 420/7

X= 60

two numbers= 3× 60= 180

= 4×60= 240
