Answer» The ratio of two numbers is 31 : 23 Let the common multiple be x. ∴ First number = 31x and Second number = 23x According to the given condition, Sum of the numbers is 216 ∴ 31x + 23x = 216 ∴ 54x = 216 ∴ x = 4 ∴ First number = 31x = 31 x 4 = 124 Second number = 23x = 23 x 4 = 92 ∴ The two numbers are 124 and 92. |
