Question

Two numbers are in the rates 15:6, when 2 is added to first and 3 is added to second, they are in the ratio 4.5) Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 5x and 6x

on adding 2 in first and 3 in second number

5x + 2÷ 6x + 3 = 4/5

25x + 10 = 24x + 12

x=2

5x= 5×2=10

6x=6×2=12

hence the two numbers are 10 and 12

Answer 2

Correct Question :

• Two numbers are in the ratio 5:6, when 2 is added to first and 3 is added to second, they are in the ratio 4:5 . Find the numbers.

Answer :

• The numbers are 10 and 12

Given :

• Two numbers are in the ratio 5:6 , when 2 is added to first and 3 is added to second , they are in the ratio 4:5

To find :

• The numbers

Solution :

Given,

• Two numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6 so,

• Let the first number be 5x
• Let the second number be 6x

According to Question Given That,

When 2 is added to first and 3 is added to second , they are in the ratio 4 : 5 so,

• 5x + 2 / 6x + 3 = 4/5

↬ 5x + 2 / 6x + 3 = 4/5

↬ 5(5x + 2) = 4(6x + 3)

↬ 25x + 10 = 24x = 12

↬ 25x - 24x = 10 - 12

↬ x = 2

To find the numbers :

↬ 5x

↬ 5(2)

↬ 10

↬ 6x

↬ 6(2)

↬ 12

Hence , The numbers are 10 and 12
