(c) (2,3)
(d) none of these​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no be 2x and 3x

now,

2x-4= 3

3x-4. 5

5(2x-4)=3(3x-4)

10x-20=9x-12

x=8

put x=8 in 2x and 3x

the no. are (16,24)

Answer 2

Answer:

2xand 3x are nos

(2x-4)/(3x-4) = 3/5

9x-I2=lOx-20

x=8.

(2x-4) /(3x-4) = (16-4)/ 24-4)

= 12/20 = 3/5

X=8

2x=16

3x = 24

I6 and 24 are nos
