Question

The ratio between two numbers is 13 : 7 . If the sum of these two numbers is 40. What is the product of the numbers

• A. 346
• B. 117
• C. 234
• D. 364

Answer 1

The correct option is D

364

Let the two numbers be 13 $x$ and 7$x$

Given sum of the two numbers is 40

$\therefore$ $13x+7x=20x=40$

$x$ = $\frac{40}{20}=2$

Hence the numbers are 13 (2) = 26 and 7 (2) = 14

$\therefore \text{the product is 26}\times 14=364$
