Question

Two number are such that the ratio between them is 4:7 if each is increased by 4 the ratio becomes 3:5 the larger number is

Answer 1

Answer:

4/7=3/5

A.T.Q 4 us added to each of them

so 4+4/7+4=3/5

8/11=3/5

By cross multiplication method

8×5=11×3

40=33

40/33

Answer 2

Let ratio be 4x and 7x

4 increased in ratio= 4x+4/7x+4

ATQ

4x+4/7x+4= 3/5

5(4x+4)= 3(7x+4)

20x+20=21x+12

20-12=21x-20x

x=8

4x+4= 36

7x+4= 32

4x+4 is larger
