Question

There are two numbers.when 1 is added to each of the number their ratio becomes 1:2 and when 5 is subtracted from each their ratio becomes 5:11.Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

X=35

Y=71

Step-by-step explanation:let x and y be the two numbers,

X+1/y+1=1/2..........(i)

X-5/y-5=5/11.........(ii)

Now

2x-y=-1.........from i

11x-5y=30........from ii

Now 5×(2x-y) gives

10x-5y=-5......iii

11x-5y=30.......iv

iii-iv

-x=-35

X=35

Now putting x=35 in 2x-y=-1

2(35)-y=-1

70-y=-1

-y=-71

y=71
