Two numbers are in ratio of 7 : 10 and if the sum of the numbers is 119. Find the difference of the numbers.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the numbers are: A and B
A = 7R and B = 10R
According to question:
A + B = 7R + 10R = 119
17R = 119
1R = 7
Now, Difference = 10R - 7R = 3R = 3 × 7 = 21
