Two numbers a and b are in the ratio 3:2 and their sum is 25. The value of a is?
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
The numbers a and b are in the ratio 3:2, which means:
a = 3x
b = 2x
where x is a common multiplier.
The sum of a and b is 25:
a + b = 25
3x + 2x = 25
5x = 25
x = 5
The value of a:
a = 3x
a = 3 × 5
a = 15
Therefore, the value of a is 15.
