Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be 5x and 7x respectively
5x + 7x = 360
12x = 360
x = 360/12
x = 30
5x = 5(30) = 150
7x = 7(30) = 210

Given:
The ratio of the two numbers is 5:7
The sum is 360
To Find:
The larger number
Solution:
Let us take the two numbers which are in the ratio 5:7 as 5x and 7x
According to question
5x+7x = 360 (Sum of two numbers is 360)
12x = 360
x = 360/12
x = 30
So the two numbers are
Ist number = 5x
5×30 = 150
2nd number = 7x
7×30 = 210
Since 210>150
Hence, the larger number is 210
