Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 11:12 and their sum is 460

Answer 1

suppose
a=11x
b=12x
given that, a+b=460
11x+12x=460
23x=460
x=460/23
x=20


then, putting x=20
11x=11*20
=220
12x=12*20
=240

Answer 2

let the two nos be x and y

x/y = 11/12

x= 11y/12

x + y = 460
11y/12 + y = 460
11y + 12y/12 = 460
23y = 460× 12
y = 460× 12/23
y= 240

x= 11× 240 /20
x= 220

therefore the nos are 220 and 240
