Ratio of the two numbers is 3 : 5
Let us take the common multiple as x
Then, the numbers are 3x and 5x
By the given condition, each number is increased by 10
Then, the new numbers be (3x + 10) and (5x + 10)
By the given condition,
(3x + 10) : (5x + 10) = 5 : 7
or, (3x + 10)/(5x + 10) = 5/7
or, 7 (3x + 10) = 5 (5x + 10)
or, 21x + 70 = 25x + 50
or, 25x - 21x = 70 - 50
or, 4x = 20
or, x = 20/4
or, x = 5
So, common multiple = 5
Therefore, the two numbers are
(3 × 5) and (5 × 5)
i.e., 15 and 25
