Question

The ratio between two numbers is 2:3 and their sum is 540.Which is greater of the two numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let nos. be 2x and 3x

2x+3x=540

5x=540

x=108

larger no. is 108×3=324

Answer 2

Answer:

The greater of the two number is 324

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two number be $2x$ and $3x$

Given sum of two numbers is 540

therefore ,   $2x + 3x = 540$

                 or  $5x = 540$

                 or   $x = \frac{540}{5}$

                 or   $x = 108$

                 

So the first number is $2x = 2\times108 = 216$

and the second number is $3x = 3\times108 = 324$

So the greater of the two numbers is 324
