Question

The sum of two numbers is 50 and their difference is 10.Find the ratio of the numbers is

Answer 1

Let the two numbers are 7x and 10x.

As per the problem,

The difference 10x-7x = 105

3x = 105

x = 35.

So one number is 7x = 7× 35 = 245

And the another number = 10x = 10×35 = 350

Answer 2

hey..

x + y = 50..... (1)
x - y = 10....... (2)

(1) + (2)

2x = 60
x = 60/2
x = 30

sub x = 30 in (1)

30 + y = 50
y = 50 - 30
y = 20

Ratio = x:y = 30:20 = 3:2
