Answer :–
- First number = 16
- Second number = 24
Given :–
- Two numbers are in ratio 2:3
- Both increased by 8
- The ratio becomes 3:4
To Find :–
- Find the two numbers.
Solution :–
The two numbers which is in ratio 2:3.
Let, the first number be 2x.
And the second number be 3x.
Both increased by 8,
After adding 8, we get,
→
Cross multiplication,
→ 4(2x + 8) = 3(3x + 8)
→ 8x + 32 = 9x + 24
→ 32 - 24 = 9x - 8x
→ 8 = 1x
→ x = 8
Now,
- 2x = 2 × 8 = 16
- 3x = 3 × 8 = 24
Hence,
The first number is 16 and the other second number is 24.
