❥Correct Question:-

Two numbers are in the ratio of 2:7. If the sum of the numbers is 171 , find the numbers.

❥Given:-

Ratio of the two numbers = 2:7

Sum of the two numbers = 171

❥To Find:-

Two numbers in the ratio of 2:7 whose sum is 171.

❥Solution:-

↳Let the ratio of the two numbers be 2x : 7x.

↳Sum of the ratios of the two numbers

= 2x + 7x

= 9x

↳According to the problem,

9x = 171

=> x = 171/9

=> x = 19

↳The numbers are:-

2x = 2 x 19 = 38

7x = 7 x 19 = 133
