Given :-
- 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
To Find :-
- The Original Numbers
Solution :-
⟼ Let the First Number be 3x
⟼ Let the Second Number be 5x
❑ After Increasing the Number by 10
⟼ Let the First Number be 3x + 10
⟼ Let the Second Number be 5x + 10
♱ According to the Question ♱
➞ 3x + 10 / 5x + 10 = 5 / 7
➞ 7 (3x + 10) = 5 (5x + 10)
➞ 21x + 70 = 25x + 50
➞ 21x - 25x = 50 - 70
➞ - 4x = - 20
➞ x = 20/4
➞ x = 5
________________
Therefore :-
- First Number = 3x = 3 × 5 = 15
- Second Number = 5x = 5 × 5 = 25

Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.
According to the question we can write as
➪ ( 3x + 10 ) = ( 5 )
( 5x + 10 ) ( 7 )
On cross multiplying we get
➪ 7( 3x + 10 ) = 5( 5x + 10 )
➪ 21x + 70 = 25x + 50
On rearranging or transposing
➪ 70 – 50 = 25x – 21x
➪ 4x = 20
➪ x = 20 = 5
4
So the numbers are 15 and 25
