Question

Two numbers are in the ratio of 2:3. If 15 is added to both the numbers, then the ratio betwee two numbers becomes 11: 14. Find the greater number.​

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

(2x+15) / ( 3x+15) = 11/14 cross multiply to get

28x + 210 = 33x + 165

45 = 5x

x = 9 so the larger number is 3 X 9 = 27

(smaller number is 2 x 9 = 18)
