☆ Given :

• Two number are in ratio 8 : 9
• Sum of the numbers is 153

☆ To find :

• The numbers.

☆ Solution :

Hence, it is given that two numbers are in ratio 8:9 .

Thus,let us consider :

• First number as 8x
• Second number as 9x

According to Question,

→ 8x + 9x = 153

→ 17x = 153

→ x = 153/17

→ x = 9

Therefore,

• First number = 8x = 8×9 = 72
• Second number = 9x = 9×9 = 81

★ Check :—

Given that,

Sum of two numbers = 153

8x + 9x = 153

Putting the value,

• 8×9 + 9×9 = 153

• 72 + 81 = 153

• 153 = 153

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S.

Thus, checked.
