Sum of two numbers is 44 and their difference is 16. The ratio of these number is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the numbers are = a & b
ATQ,
A + B = 44 .............(i)
A - B = 16 .............(ii)
add (i) & (ii), we get
2A = 60,
A = 30
Put value of A in (i)
30 + B = 44
B = 44 - 30 = 14
Required Ratio = A : B = 30 : 14 = 15 : 7
