★ Answer ★
- The first Number = 60
- The second Number = 50
Step by step Explanation :-
★ Given :-
- Two numbers are in the ratio 6:5 .
- Their sum is 110.
Have to Find :-
- What are these two numbers ?
Solution :-
As we know the ratio of numbers is 6 : 5.
Let's consider the required numbers be
➤ First number = 6x
➤ Second Number = 5x
Now,
As from the given , the sum of the numbers is " 110 "
Then,
↬6x + 5x = 110
↬ 11x = 110
↬ x = 110/11
↬ x = 10
Therefore,
The required numbers :-
- First number = 6x
↬ 6 × 10
↬ 60.
- Second Number = 5x
↬ 5 × 10
↬ 50.
★ Verification ★
Putting the value of x
↬ 5x + 6x = 110
↬ 5 × 10 + 6 × 10 = 110
↬ 50 + 60 = 110
↬ 110 = 110
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence , Proved!
Therefore, option(c) is the required answer.

Given that
Two numbers are in ratio 6:5
Sum of two numbers is 110
So let two numbers are 6x,5x
Therefore
6x + 5x =110
11x = 110
x = 10
Therefore 6x = 60
5x =50
The required numbers are 60,50
Sum of the numbers = 60+50=110
60:50 ratio = 6:5
Hence two conditions satisfied
