Answer 1

☆ Answer :-

• The second number is greater = 5x = 5 × 13 = 65.

☆ Given :-

• Ratio of two numbers is 3:5$.$

• Their difference is 26.

☆ Have to Find :-

• The larger number = ?

Calculations :-

Consider the two number be 3x and 5x.

Then from the given , we get :-

⇒ 5x - 3x = 26

⇒ 2x = 26

⇒ x = $\sf\dfrac{\cancel{26}}{\cancel{2}}$

$\large{\boxed{\bold{x\:=\:13}}}$

Therefore ,

The two number are :-

1. Number = 3x

= 3 × 13

= 39

2. Number = 5x

= 5 × 13

= 65

Hence , the number second ( 65 ) is larger.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\rm{Solution:-}$

Let the number be 3x and 5x

→ 5x- 3x = 26

→ 2x = 26

$\rm→x= \frac{26}{2} \\ \rm \: Answer→13$

Hence numbers are 5x = 5× 13 = 65

Second number is 3x = 3× 13 = 39
