Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. When each of
the two numbers is increased by 8, the ratio between
them becomes 3 : 4. Find the two numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 2x and 3x.

2x + 8/3x+8 = 3/4

=> 4(2x+8) = 3(3x + 8)

=> 8x + 32 = 9x + 24

=> x = 8.

Thus the numbers are 2*8 and 3*8 = 16, 24
