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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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
