• REQUIRED ANSWER :)

Solution :

Let the number be 'x'.

Sum of 2 numbers = 40

Their ratio = 1:3

Finding out 'x'

$: \implies1x \times 3x = 40 \\ : \implies4x = 40 \\ : \implies \: x = 40 \div 4 \\ : \implies \: x = 10$

So,

$: \implies1x = 1 \times 10 = 10 \\ : \implies3x = 3 \times 10 = 30$

Therefore :

The two numbers are 10 and 30
