The sum of two numbers m and n is 84 (m > n) and their difference is 6. What is the ratio of the two numbers?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 15 : 13.
Given:
The sum of two numbers m and n = 84
The difference of two numbers m and n = 6
Calculations:
⇒ m + n = 84 and m - n = 6
We get, m = 45 and n = 39
Required ratio = 45/39 = 15 : 13
