The ratio of two numbers is 5 : 6. If their product is 1920, what is the sum of both numbers?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 88.

Ratio = 5 : 6

Product = 1920

Let the numbers be 5x and 6x.

⇒ 5x × 6x = 1920

⇒ 30x2 = 1920

⇒ x2 = 64

⇒ x = 8

Sum of two numbers = 5x + 6x = 11x = 11 × 8 = 88
