Question

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

Answer 1

ratio = 3:4

⟹ let take the ratio be in x

the sum is 420

4x = 420

⟹ 7x = 420

x = 60

⟹ Greater number is 4x = 4(60)

=240

Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{\huge{\red\star\mathfrak\purple{\large{\underline{\underline{ Answer!}}}}}}}$

Let the common ratio be x

Now, according to the question

3x+4x= 420

⟹7x= 420

$\bold{⟹x = \frac{420}{7} }$

⟹x= 60

$\boxed { \bold \red{3x = 3 \times 60 = 180}}$

$\boxed { \bold \pink{4x = 4 \times 60 = 240}}$

Verification:

3x+4x= 420

⟹180+240= 420

⟹420 = 420

L.H.S= R.H.S

4x is bigger because it is 240 > 180
