Question

The difference between two numbers is numbers 80 . if the ratio of two numbers is 2 is to 5 then find the numbers .​

Answer 1

5x - 2x =80

3x=80

x=80/3

1st no.=2x80/3=160/3

2nd no.=5x80/3=400/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

As ratio is given 2:5

So, let the numbers are 2x and 5x

Difference is given 80

So, 5x-2x=80

or,  3x=80

So, x= 80/3

Therefore, the two numbers are 2*80/3 i.e. 160/3

and 5*80/3 i.e. 400/3
