Question

Two numbers are such that the ratio between them is 3:5. If each is increased by 10, the ratio between the new numbers so formed is 5:7. Find the original numbers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

15,25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x and 5x

When 10 is added to both numbers , the new numbers become 3x+10 and 5x+10. But it is given that they become 5x and 7x. So,3x+10=5x

or, 5x-3x= 10

or, 2x=10

or, x=5

Then, original numbers are 3x=3*5=15, and 5x=5*5=25
