Question

Two numbers are in the ratio $3:4$. If the sum of numbers is $63$, find the numbers.

• A. $27\&36$
• B. $27\&72$
• C. $54\&36$
• D. $9\&27$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$27\&36$

Sum of the terms of the ratio $=3+4=7$
Sum of numbers $=63$
Therefore, first number $=\frac{3}{7}\times 63=27$
Second number $=\frac{4}{7}\times 63=36$
Therefore, the two numbers are $27\&36$
