Question

two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 5. if each number is increased by 14 the ratio between the New numbers formed is 5:7.find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:let the 2 numbers be 3x and 5x

if the nos. are increased by 14 the nos. are:

3x+14 and 5x+14

according to the question

3x+14/5x+14= 5x/7x

5x(5x+14)= 7x(3x+14)

25x+70= 21x + 98

25x - 21x= 98 - 70

4x = 28

x = 28/4

x = 7

therefore the nos. are

3x= 3 x 7= 21

5x= 5 x 7= 35
