Answer 2

Question:

DIFFERENCE between 2 numbers is 24.
RATIO of the numbers is 3:1.
Find the numbers.

ANSWER:

Let 'x' be the common ratio.
Then the ratio of the numbers will be:
3x:x.

It is given that the difference is 24.

So,

3x-x=24.
2x=24
x=12.

Now the COMMON RATIO is 12.

So, the numbers are 3(12) and 1(12) respectively.

3*12=36.
1*12=12.

Therefore, the numbers are 36 and 12.
