Question:

The difference of two numbers is 24 while the sum of those two numbers is 120. Which of the options below can be the ratio of those two numbers?

Options:

3 : 5

3 : 2

4 : 5

5 : 8

Correct Answer:

3 : 2

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x, y 

then, x - y = 24

        x + y =120

Solving them we get, x = 72, y = 48

Thus, x : y = 72 : 48 = 3 : 2
