Question

· Two numbers are in the ratio 7:9. If each number is
increased by 6, the new ratio becomes 5:6. The sum
of both the original numbers is,
(A) 100
(B) 62
(C) 36
(D) 32​

Answer 1

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

If 7x+6/9x+6=5/6

6(7x+6)=5(9x+6)

42x+36=45x+30

3x=6

x=2

2×7=14

2×9=18

14+18=32
