Question

The ratio of two numbers is 3:4 and their sum is 420.The greater of the two number is solve
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given ratio = 3:4

★⟹ let take the ratio be in x

★⟹ There sum is 420

★⟹ 3x + 4x = 420

★⟹ 7x = 420

★⟹ x = 60

★⟹ Greater number is 4x = 4(60)

Answer 2

Given,

Sum of the two numbers = 420

The ratio = 3:4

Let,

The 3x and 4x are the numbers

Now,

3x+4x = 420

7x = 420

x = 420/7

x = 60

Now,

3x = 3(60) = 180

4x = 4(60) = 240

Hence, 4x is greater
