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? |
3 : 5 3 : 2 4 : 5 5 : 8 |
3 : 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 |
