Answer:
1st no.=80
2nd no.=144
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of 2 nos.=5:9
Taking x as the common multiple,
1st no.=5x
2nd no.=9x
After adding 16,
Ratio of 2 nos.=3:5
There fore accoding to the condition,
5x+16/9x+16=3/5
Cross multiplying
5(5x+16)=3(9x+16)
25x+80=27x+48
80=27x-25x+48
80=2x+48
80-48=2x
32=2x
x=32/2=16
1st no.=5x=5×16=80
2nd no.=9x=9×16=144
