Step-by-step explanation:
Question must be: The ratio of two numbers is 2:3. The ratio of numbers become 3:4 when 5 is added to the first number and 6 is added to the second. Find the original number.
Let the numbers be 2x and 3x
If 5 is added to the first number and 6 is added to the second number, we get
1st no. - 2x+5 & 2nd no. - 3x+6
according to question:
2x+5 / 3x+6 = 3 / 4
=> 4(2x+5) = 3(3x+6)
=> 8x+20 = 9x+18
=> 9x-8x = 20-18
=> x = 2
∴ 1st no. - 2x = 2*2 = 4
&
2nd no. - 3x = 3*2 = 6
∴ the number is 46
