Question

the ratio of two numbers is 2:3 if both the number are increased by 8 their ratio becomes 10:13.find the number.

Answer 1

Hi,

Here's the solution :-

Let the numbers be 2x and 3x respectively.

According to question,

(2x+8) / (3x+8) = 10/13

=> 13(2x+8) = 10(3x+8)

=> 26x + 104 = 30x + 80

=> 30x-26x = 104-80

=> 4x = 24

=> x = 24/4 = 6

So the two no. s are :-

2x = 2 x 6 = 12

3x = 3 x 6 = 18

Hope that you are clear ^_^
