Question

The difference between two whole numbers is 66. The ratio of the two numbers is 5 : 2. The two numbers are: (a) 60 and 6 (b) 100 and 33 (c) 110 and 44 (d) 99 and 33

Answer 1

Let the two numbers be x & y...

By looking at the ratio we can say 2x = 5y...............(i)

By looking at the difference we can say x - y = 66....................(ii)

Or, x = 66+y.......(iii)

Putting this value of x in eq.(i) we get  :

2(66+y) = 5y

132 + 2y = 5y

3y = 132

y = 44

Putting this value of y in eq.(iii) we get  :

x = 66 + 44

x = 110
