Question

sum of two positive number is 52 if we divide the smaller number by the greater number we get 3 upon 10 find the numbers

Answer 1

If we divide smaller number by greater number we get 3/10 it is the ratio of that number

let the numbers be 3x and 10x

by the given condition

3x+10x=52

13x=52

x=4

3x=12

10x=40

so the numbers are 12&40

Answer 2

hello users .....

we have given that:-
sum of two positive number is 52.
and
if we divide the smaller number by the greater number we get 3 upon 10 .

we have to find the numbers ?

solution:-
let smaller number is = x
and
greater number is = y

According to question :
x + y = 52. .......(1.)

and
x/y = 3/10
=> 10 x = 3y
=> 10x - 3y = 0 .........(2.)


now ,
multiply by 3 in equation (1.)
we get ,
3x + 3y = 156 .....(3.)

now, adding equation (2.) and (3.)
we get ,
10 x + 3 x = 156

=> 13 x = 156
=> x = 156/13 = 12

now, putting the value of x in equation (1.) we get ;
=> 12 + y = 52
=> y = 52 - 12 = 40

Hence ,
Required numbers are 12 and 40 answer
