Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:2. If they differ by 36, what are the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

60 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the two numbers are 5x and 2x

they differ by 36

So, 5x-2x=36

3x= 36

x=12

one number is 5x=5*12=60

other is 2x=2*12=24

Answer 2

Answer:

60 & 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there is x in the ratios.

First number = 5x

Second number = 2x

A/Q,

First number - Second number = 36

=> 5x - 2x = 36

=> 3x = 36

=> x = 36/3

x = 12

Hence, First number = 5×12 = 60

Second number = 2×12 = 24
