    The ratio of two numbers β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ is 5:8,

    respectively. If 15 is added to each of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’, then the ratio of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ becomes 2:3. The sum of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ is:

    B 156 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 143 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the two numbers β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ be β€˜5x’ and β€˜8x’, respectively ATQ; (5x + 15)/(8x + 15) = 2/3 Or, 15x + 45 = 16x + 30 Or, x = 15 Now, sum of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 5 Γ— 15 + 8 Γ— 15 = 195
