Question

Two numbers are in ratio 7:4.If their diffrence is 72 ,find the numbers​

Answer 1

Ratio of two numbers = 7 : 4

Let first number be 7x

and second number be 4x

Difference = 72

According to the question

7x - 4x = 72

3x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24.

So, first number = 7 * 24 = 168.

and second number = 4 * 24 = 96.

Therefore the numbers are 168 and 96.

Verification:

7x - 4x = 72

7(24) - 4(24) = 72

168 - 96 = 72

72 = 72.
