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
