Answer 2

Given:

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:7 and the sum of numbers is 192.

To find:

The greater number.

Solution:

As given,

two numbers are in the ratio 5:7.

So, let the highest common factor of both numbers be x.

So,

one number is 5x and the other or greater number is 7x.

Now,

according to the question,

the sum of two numbers = 192

i.e.

$5x + 7x = 192$

on solving above, we get,

$12x = 192$

$x = 16$

So,

greater number = 7x = 7(16) = 112

Hence, the greater number is 112.
