• Two numbers are in the ratio 1 : 2 and their sum is 540.

To Find:

• Find the numbers.

Solution:

Let the common factor be x

therefore,

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf sum = 540 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf \: x + 2x = 540 \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 3x = 540 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed{ \red{ \sf \: x = 180}}$

$\sf \: other \: no. = 2x = 2(180) = 360$
