Question

The ratio of two number is2:5 and their different is 65 then the large number is

Answer 1

The ratio between two numbers is 2:5

So, let the larger no. be 5x and smaller be 2x.

According to Question -

5x - 2x = 65

or, 3x = 65

or, x = 65 / 3

We have got x = 65/3

So, larger number is 5x = 5(65/3) = 325/3
smaller no. is 2x = 2(65/3) = 130/3

Difference between 325/3 and 130/3
= 325/3 - 130/3
=195/3
=65

Answer) Hence, larger number is 65.
