The sum of two numbers is 14 and their quotient is \(\displaystyle\frac{5}{2}\). The numbers are:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 10, 4
A quotient of \(\displaystyle\frac{5}{2}\) means the numbers are in the ratio 5 : 2, so take them as \(5k\) and \(2k\).
\(5k+2k=7k=14\), so \(k=2\)
The numbers are \(5\times2=10\) and \(2\times2=4\)
