Let the first number be x
Then, second number = 3x
Now, According to question,
Their sum is 240
Then, first number = x = 60
Second number = 3x = 3 × 60 = 180
Now, their difference
= 180 - 60
= 120
Then, second number = 3x
Now, According to question,
Their sum is 240
Then, first number = x = 60
Second number = 3x = 3 × 60 = 180
Now, their difference
= 180 - 60
= 120

hey
the ratio is 1:3
the sum is 240
X+3X=240
4X=240
X=240/4
X=60
the two numbers r 60 and 180
=180-60
=120
the ratio is 1:3
the sum is 240
X+3X=240
4X=240
X=240/4
