Question

The two numbers are in the ratio 4:7 and thrice the larger is added to twice the smaller is 59. Find the numbers

Answer 1

numbers are 32 and 16

Answer 2

There’s something wrong in the question - If thrice the larger is added to twice the smaller, the sum becomes *58* not 59. Now try

X/Y =4/7

7x=4y

3y+2x =58

On solving x =8 and y = 14
