Correct option is C
Given:
7 : 5
Solution:
Let the part of numbers be 7x and 5x
difference 7x - 2x = 14
2x = 14
x = 7
7x : 5x = 7x + 5x = 12x
Thus the number
12x = 712
= 84
A number is split into two parts such that one part is 14 more than the other, and the ratio of the two parts is 7 : 5. Find the number.
