QUESTION :
The ratio of two numbers is 3:5.
If each number is increased by 10 the ratio between the numbers formed is 5:7.
Find the numbers.
SOLUTION :
The two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 5
Let them be 3x and 5x respectively .
Now :
3X + 10 / 5x + 10 = 5 / 7
=> 7 ( 3X + 10 ) = 5 ( 5X + 10 )
=> 21 X + 70 = 25 X + 50
=> 4X = 20
=> X = 5
=> 3X = 15
=> 5X = 25
Hence the required numbers are 15 and 25 respectively.
