Question
Ratio between two numbers is 11:13 and their difference is 26. Find the sum of the given two numbers.
Solution
Let the two numbers be '11h' and '13h', respectively. ATQ; 13h - 11h = 26 So, h = (26/2) = 13 So, first number = '11h' = 11 × 13 = 143 And second number = '13h' = 13 × 13 = 169 So, required sum = 143 + 169 = 312
