Two numbers are in the ratio 4 : 5. If the difference between these numbers is 24, find the numbers.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 96, 120
Numbers in the ratio 4 : 5 can be written as \(4x\) and \(5x\); their difference is one part, \(x\).
\(5x-4x=24\), so \(x=24\)
The numbers: \(4\times24=96\) and \(5\times24=120\)
