Two numbers are in the ratio 3:5 and their difference is 48. The two numbers are :
72 and 120
Consider ratio terms 3 and 5 .
So, let the required numbers be 3x and 5x . Then,
5x- 3x= 48 Because ,difference is 48
5x- 3x= 48
⇒ 2x = 48
⇒ x= 482=24
The required numbers are :
1. 3x= 3×24 = 72
2. 5x = 5×24 = 120
