Question

Two numbers in the ratio2:5 are such that the frist number is 36 less than the second number find second number

Answer 1

Answer -

★ First number = 24

★ Second Number = 60

★ Explaination :

→ Consider the second number as x

→ First Number = ( x - 36 )

So, the equation :

$= > \frac{x - 36}{x} = \frac{2}{5}$

$= > 5(x - 36) = 2 \times x$

$= > 5x \times 180 = 2x$

$= > 5x - 2x = 180$

$= > 3x = 180$

$= > x = \frac{180}{3}$

$\large{\green{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\red{\textsf{x = 60}}}}}}}$

→ First Number = ( x - 36 )

=> 60 - 36

$\large{\green{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\red{\textsf{24}}}}}}}$

→ Second Number = x

$\large{\green{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\red{\textsf{60}}}}}}}$

$\large{\pink{\boxed{\purple{\boxed{\orange{\textsf{Verification}}}}}}}$

$= > \frac{60 - 36}{60} = \frac{2}{5}$

$= > \frac{24}{60} = \frac{2}{5}$

$= > 24 \times 5 = 60 \times 2$

$= > 120 = 120$

$\therefore$LHS =RHS

Therefore the answer is

First number = 24

Second Number = 60
