Question

two numbers which are in ratio 2:5and whose sum is 98​

Answer 1

let the two numbers be 2x,5x.

according to the problem

2x + 5x = 98

7x = 98

x = 98/7

x = 14.

2x = 2(14) = 28

5x = 5(14) = 70.

therefore, the numbers are 28,70.

Answer 2

Ratio of two number = 2:5

To find -

First number and second number

solution

Let the first number be 2x and second number be 5x

According to question

2x + 5x = 98

7x = 98

x = 98/7

x = 14

First number = 2x

= 2*14

= 28

second number = 5x
