Question 8

The ratio of two numbers is 3 : 7. If their product is 1344, then what is the sum of both the numbers?

Solution

Let the numbers be $$3x$$ and $$7x$$

Product = $$(3x)\times(7x)=1344$$

=> $$x^2=\frac{1344}{21}=64$$

=> $$x=\sqrt{64}=8$$

$$\therefore$$ Sum of numbers = $$3x+7x=10x$$

= $$10\times8=80$$

=> Ans - (A)
