a) 1 : 1
b) 1 : 2
c) 1 : 3
d) 2 : 1
Answer »Answer: (a)
$(x + y)^2 = 4xy$
$x^2 + y^2 + 2xy - 4xy = 0$
$(x - y)^2$ = 0 ⇒ x = y
x : y = 1 : 1
Question : 22 [SSC CPO S.I.2003]

The ratio of two numbers is 10 : 7 and their difference is 105. The sum of these numbers is
a) 1190
b) 1610
c) 805
d) 595
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the nos. be 10x & 7 x then,
10 x - 7x = 105
3x = 105 ⇒ x = 35
Sum = 10x + 7x = 17x
= 17 × 35 = 595
Question : 24 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2016]
Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 5. If 6 is added to each of them, the ratio becomes 2 : 3. The numbers are

b) 18 and 30
c) 30 and 50
d) 21 and 35
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.
According to the question,
${3x + 6}/{5x + 6}= 2/3$
10x + 12 = 9x + 18
10x - 9x = 18 - 12
x = 6
Numbers are :
3x = 3 × 6 = 18 and
5x = 5 × 6 = 30
Question : 25 [SSC CGL Tier-II 2013]
Three numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. If the sum of their squares is 1856, then the numbers are
a) 12, 18 and 24
b) None of the above
c) 16, 24 and 32
d) 8, 12 and 16
Answer »Answer: (c)
Numbers = 2x, 3x and 4x
$(2x)^2 + (3x)^2 + (4x)^2$ = 1856
$4x^2 + 9x^2 + 16x^2$ = 1856
$29x^2$ = 1856
$x^2$ = 1856 ÷ 29 = 64
$x = √64$ = 8
Numbers = 16, 24 and 32
