Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 3:4. If 8 is subtracted from each of them then their ratio becomes 2:3. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

24 and 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common ratio be= x

ATQ,

3x-8/4x-8=2/3

3[3x-8]=2[4x-8]

9x-24=8x-16

9x-8x=-16+24

x=8

Hence the numbers are:

(3*8)= 24

(4*8)= 32
