Question

two numbers are in the ratio 3:7 and their difference is 36 then the smaller number is​

Answer 1

Answer:

=> The numbers are 27 and 63

Step-by-step explanation:

As the numbers are in the ratio 3:7, we can take them as 3x and 7x

Difference = 36

=> 7x - 3x = 36

=> 4x = 36

=> x = 9

Now, the numbers are 3x and 7x

=> The numbers are 27 and 63

Answer 2

Answer:

let 1st no = 3x

2nd no = 7x

ATQ

3X - 7X = 36

-4x = 36

x =36÷-4

x = -9

therefore 1st no is 3x is 3×-9= -27

2nd no is 7x is 7×-9= -63

2nd no 7 is smaller
