Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 7:11 if 7 added to each of the numbers, the ratio becomes 2:3. Find the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the ratios be 7x and 11 x

according to given condition,

(7x + 7) : (11x+7) = 2:3

(7x + 7 ) / (11x+7 ). = 2/3

3 ( 7x+7) = 2 ( 11x+ 7)

21x + 21. = 22x + 14

22x-21x. = 21 - 14

x = 7

therefore,

7x= 7(7) = 49

11x= 11(7)= 77

hence ,

THE NUMBERS ARE 49 AND 77
