✪ Question ✪
Two numbers are in ratio 3:5. If they differ by 18, what are the numbers?
✪ Given ✪
Ratio = 3:5
Difference = 18
✪ To find ✪
The numbers.
✪ Solution ✪
Let the numbers are 3x and 5x.
Difference = 18
According to condition,
5x - 3x = 18
↝2x = 18
↝x = 18/2
↝x = 9
✪ Hence ✪
x = 9
3x = (3 × 9) = 27
5x = (5 × 9) = 45
✪ Therefore ✪
The numbers are 27 and 45.
-------------------------------------------------------------
✪ Verification ✪
5x - 3x = 18
↝45 - 27 = 18
↝18 = 18
So, L.H.S = R.H.S.
Hence, verified

Answer:
First number is 27.
Second number is 45.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
ratio of 1st no. =3(x)=3x
ratio of 2nd no. =5(x)=5x
Difference is 18.
So,
equation is =5x-3x=18
2x=18
x=18/2
x=9.
first number = 3(x) =3(9) = 27
second number = 5(x) =5(9) =45.
Hope this will help you.
