NUMBERS = 48Ratio of the two numbers = 2 : 3Concept:/Formula:Product of two number = LCM × HCFCalculation:LET HCF of the two number be x, THENTHE two numbers are 2x and 3xAccording to the question⇒ 2x × 3x = 48 × x⇒ 6x2 = 48x⇒ x = 48/6⇒ x = 8The first number is = 2 × 8 = 16The SECOND number is = 3 × 8 = 24The sum of two numbers is = 16 + 24 = 40
