CORRECT QUESTION:-

• Two Numbers are in the ratio 7:1. if they differ by 72 what are the Numbers.

GIVEN:-

• The numbers are in the ration.

• The numbers differ by 72.

Now,

Let the Number be x

$\implies\rm{First\:Number=7x}$

$\implies\rm{Second\:Number=x}$

Atq.

$\implies\rm{7x-x=72}$

$\implies\rm{6x=72}$

$\implies\rm{x=\dfrac{\cancel{72}}{\cancel{6}}}$

$\implies\rm{x=12}$

Put the value of x.

$\implies\rm{First\:Number=7x=7\times{12}=84}$

$\implies\rm{Second\:Number=x=12}$

VERIFICATION:-

$\implies\rm{First\:Number-Second\:Number=72}$

$\implies\rm{84-12=72}$

$\implies\rm{72=72}$
