Answer 2

The two numbers will be 42 and 18.

Given,

Two numbers are in ratio 7:3,

The sum of these numbers is 60.

To find,

The numbers.

Solution,

Firstly, let the two numbers be $7x$ and $3x.$

Now, it is given that the sum of these two numbers is 60. Mathematically, it will be expressed as,

$7x+3x=60$     ...(1)

On simplifying the above equation (1), we get,

$10x=60$

$\implies x=6.$

So, from the above value of $x$, we can determine the two numbers as follows.

$7x=7(6)= 42\\3x=3(6)=18$

⇒ The two numbers are 42 and 18.

Therefore, the two numbers will be 42 and 18.
