Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 2:3. if 6 is added to both, the ratio changes to 3:4. what is the smaller number?

Answer 1

Heya...!!!
Here is your answer ----


Let the numbers be 2x and 3x respectively.

Ac/q

=> (2x + 6)/(3x + 6) = 3/4

=> 4 (2x + 6) = 3 (3x + 6)

=> 8x + 24 = 9x + 18

=> 8x - 9x = 18 - 24

=> -x = -6

=> x = 6

Smaller number = 2x = 12
