Answer 2

Answer: The two numbers are 22 and 77

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

The given difference between two whole numbers is 55

i.e.$y-x=55$  ...(1)

and the ratio of the numbers is 2:7

i.e. $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{7}$ were $x,y\neq 0$

$\implies x=\frac{2}{7}y$   ...(2)

Now substituting this value of x in eqn (1) we get

$\implies y-\frac{2}{7}y=55$

$\implies \frac{5}{7}y=55$

$\therefore y=77$

and $x=\frac{2}{7}y=\frac{2}{7}\times 77=22$

$i.e. x=22\text{ and }y=77$
