Correct Question :-

Given :-

• The sum of two numbers is 160 and their ratio is 5 : 11.

To Find :-

• What are the numbers.

Solution :-

Let, the first number be 5x

And, the second number will be 11x

According to the question,

↦ 5x + 11x = 160

↦ 16x = 160

↦ x = 160/16

➠ x = 10

Hence, the required numbers are,

✧ First numbers = 5x = 5(10) = 50

✧ Second number = 11x = 11(10) = 110

∴ The numbers are 50 and 110.

VERIFICATION :-

⇒ 5x + 11x = 160

By putting x = 10 we get,

⇒ 5(10) + 11(10) = 160

⇒ 50 + 110 = 160

⇒ 160 = 160

➦ LHS = RHS

Hence, Verified ✔
