Question

two numbers are in the ratio 5 ratio 7 and the sum of these number is 252 the smaller of these number is​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the ratio be x,

first no =5x

second no = 7x

~NOW~,

5x +7x =252

12x =252

x= 21

Hence, putting the value of x

first no = 5×21 =105

second no = 7×21= 147

so, the smallest no = 105
