Answer 1

Solution,

Here, we have

Ratio of numbers = 3 : 2

Sum of numbers = 60

To Find,

The Numbers

Formula or concept to be used,

Here the sum of the numbers is given.

Then,

We can find the numbers by putting both the terms side by side,

Here, we solve

Let the numbers be 3x and 2x.

Ratio of numbers = Sum of original numbers.

⇒ 3x + 2x = 60

⇒ 5x = 60

⇒ x = 60/5

⇒ x = 12

Now, the numbers

1st number = 3x = 3 × 12 = 36

2nd number = 2x = 2 × 12 = 24

❏ Hence, the numbers are 36 and 24

Answer 2

Let the number be x.

If they are in ratio, then the numbers will be 3x and 2x.

According to question,

$→3x + 2x = 60$

$→5x = 60$

$→x = \frac{60}{5}$

$→ \boxed{x = 12}$

Now put the value of x,

3x = 3 × 12

→ 36

2x = 2 × 12

→ 60

Numbers are 36 and 24.
