Two numbers are in the ratio 4:3. If 2 is added to each of the number the new ratio becomes 5:4. Then, find the numbers
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The numbers are = 4R and 3R
ATQ,
\(\frac{4R\;+\;2}{3R\;+\;2}\) = \(\frac{5}{4}\)
16R + 8 = 15R + 10
R = 2
Therefore, numbers are:
4R = 4× 2 = 8
3R = 3× 2 = 6
