Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Let the two numbers be 2x and 5x, as their ratio is 2:5.
The difference between the numbers is 5x - 2x = 3x.
Given that the difference is 66, we have 3x = 66.
Solving for x: x = 66 / 3 = 22.
Therefore, the numbers are 2x = 2 × 22 = 44 and 5x = 5 × 22 = 110.
The two numbers are 44 and 110.
हिन्दी उत्तर:
माना दो संख्याएँ 2x और 5x हैं, क्योंकि उनका अनुपात 2:5 है।
संख्याओं का अंतर 5x - 2x = 3x है।
दिया गया है कि अंतर 66 है, इसलिए 3x = 66।
x का मान निकालने पर: x = 66 / 3 = 22।
इसलिए, संख्याएँ 2x = 2 × 22 = 44 और 5x = 5 × 22 = 110 हैं।
दो संख्याएँ 44 और 110 हैं।
