प्रश्न
Two numbers are in the ratio 5:7. If 3 is subtracted from each of them, the ratio between them becomes 2:3. Find the numbers.
उत्तर
Let the two numbers be 5x and 7x.
From the given information,
`(5x- 3)/(7x - 3)= 2/3`
15x - 9 = 14x - 6
15x - 14x = 9 - 6
x = 3
Thus, the numbers are 5x = 15 and 7x = 21.
