Question

Two numbers are in ratio of 10:11. Thier sum of 168. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Here in the question it's mentioned that the sum of two numbers Is 168 and these numbers are in ratio of 10:11 . For making the procedure simple we will take a common term called x and multiply it with both the rational terms .

• 10 × x = 10x
• 11 × x = 11x

Following the question ; we can write the terms as :

10x + 11x = 168

Simplification :

21x = 168

x = 168/21

x = 8

The value of Common term is 8 .

• 10×8 = 80
• 11×8 = 88

The two numbers are 80 and 88 .

Verification can be done by

80+88 = 168

168 = 168

LHS = RHS

Answer 2

$\huge\fcolorbox{cyan}{pink}{ANSWER-:}$

$Let~the~two~ numbers ~be ~10x~ and~ 11x$

$Sum=10x+11x=168$

$⇒21x=168$

$⇒x=21168=8$

$∴10×8=80~and~11×8=88$

$Hence~the~numbers~are~80~and~88$
