given ratio = 2 : 5
let the constant ratio be ' x '
so now the numbers are 2x , 5x
according to question
5x - 2x= 66
3x = 66
x = 22
therefore , the numbers are ,
2x = 2 × 22 = 44
5x = 5 × 22 = 110

Given:
Ratio=2:5
Difference=66
To find:
The numbers
Solution:
The required numbers are 44 and 110.
We can obtain the numbers by subtracting the terms in the ratio of 2:5.
Since the ratio of terms is 2:5, let the numbers be 2x and 5x.
Now, the given difference between terms=66
On equating the values, we get
5x-2x=66
3x=66
x=22
We will put the value of x to obtain the numbers.
2x=2×22=44
5x=5×22=110
Therefore, the required numbers are 44 & 110.
