Answer:
15,25
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 numbers be 3x,5x
when 5 is increased to both = 3x+5 :5x+5
now their ratios become 2:3
(3x+5)/(5x+5) = 2/3
3(3x+5) = 2(5x+5)
9x+15 = 10x+10
15-10 =10x-9x
5 = x
Therefore numbers are :
3x = 3×5 = 15
5x = 5×5 = 25
Verification:-
Ratio of 15 and 25 = 3:5
When 5 is increased
15+5 = 20
25+5 = 30
Now the ratio = 20:30 = 2:3
