Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
Let the first part be and the second part be .
The two parts must add up to 26:
The problem states that three times the first part and seven times the second part equals 122:
From the first equation, express in terms of :
Substitute into the second equation:
Substitute back to find :
The ratio of the first part to the second part is:
Therefore, the ratio of the first and second part is .
