Question

The ratio of sum and difference of two numbers is 8:3 what is ratio of two numbers

Answer 1

Let the two no.s be 'x' and 'y'
Let x>y

By Qn,

$\frac{x + y}{x - y} = \frac{8}{3}$
ie
$3x + 3y = 8x - 8y$
ie
$5x = 11y$
ie
$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{11}{5}$
Thus the no.s are in the ratio 11:5

Answer 2

Let the nos. be x and y.
A/Q (x+y)/(x-y)=8/3
By cross multiplication, we will get x/y =11/5.
