Question

The difference between two whole numbers is 66. The ratio of the two numbers is 2:5. If so the two numbers are______

a) 110,44 b) 120,54 c) 140,74
d) none of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

d) none of these

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers which are in the ratio 2:5 be 2x and 5x

2x-5x= 66

-3x= 66

-x= 66/3= 22

x= -22

2x= -44

5x= -110

therefore the two numbers are -44 and -110
