Question

Ratio of two numbers is 3:5 and the sum of number is 232 hence the bigger number is ......?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the ratio be 3x and 5x

$3x + 5x = 232$

$8x = 232$

$x = \frac{232}{8}$

$x = 29$

$3x = 3 \times 29 = 87$

$5x = 5 \times 29 = 145$

The bigger no is 145

Answer 2

SOLUTION

GIVEN

• Ratio of two numbers is 3 : 5

• The sum of number is 232

TO DETERMINE

The bigger number

EVALUATION

Here it is given that the ratio of two numbers is 3 : 5

Let the numbers are 3n and 5n

Now the sum of number is 232

So by the given condition

3n + 5n = 232

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies 8n = 232}$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies n = \frac{232}{8} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies n = 29 }$

Thus we have

First number = 3 × 29 = 87

Second number = 5 × 29 = 145

FINAL ANSWER

The bigger number = 145
