b. 72
c. 54
d. 90 ​

Answer 1

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• Two number are in the ratio 3:5.

• The sum of the numbers is 144.

To Find :-

• The larger number.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let,

• The ratios be 3x and 5x .

According to the condition,

3x + 5x = 144

8x = 144

x = 144/8

x = 18

Thus,

The value of x is 18 .

Therefore,

3x = 3 × 18 = 54

5x = 5 × 18 = 90

So,

The larger number is 90 .

Hence,

Option d) 90 is correct option.

Answer 2

Given:

The Rotio of Numbers are 3:5.

and there sum are 144

To Find:

the large number

.•♫•♬•Solution•♬•♫•.

$Let \: the \: given \: Ratio \: be \: \: 3x \: and \: 5x$

According to question

$= > 3x + 5x = 144$

$= > 8x = 144$

$= > x = \frac{144}{8}$

$= > x = 18$

Numbers are

$5x = 5 \times 18 = 90$

$3x = 3 \times 18 = 54$

Lager angle is 90

Hence the larger angle is 90 and option D is Correct ✅
