- Ratio of two nunbers = 5:7
- Sum of the two numbers = 132
- Two numbers
Let the ratio of two numbers be 5x : 7x
Then,
Sum of two numbers = 132 -----(given)
So,
=> 5x + 7x = 132
=> 12x = 132
=> x = 132/12 = 11
Hence,
- First number = 5x = 5 × 11 = 55
- Second Number = 7x = 7 × 11 = 77
VERIFICATION :-
- Sum of two numbers = 132
=> 55 + 77 = 132
=> 132 = 132
=> LHS = RHS
And,
- Ratio = 5:7
=> 55 : 77 = 5 : 7
=> 5 : 7 = 5 : 7
=> LHS = RHS
Hence verfied......
