Let the nos be denoted by x.
Ratio = 3x : 5x
ATQ....
3x = 3×5 =15
5x = 5×5= 25
The nos are 15 and 25.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers as x and y
So their ratio:
x/y = 3/5
Cross multiple
5x =3y
x = 3y/5
y = 5x/3
If 10 is added
10+X/ 10+y = 5/7
Cross multiple
70+7x = 50 + 5y
20 +7x = 5y.
Putting the value of X
20+ 7(3y/5) = 5y
Taking LCM
100+ 21y /5 = 5y
100+21y = 25y
100 = 25y-21y
100 = 4y
100/4 = y
25 = y
x = 3y/5
x = 3(25)/5
x = 15
So X = 15 and y = 25
