a) 15, 25
b) 18, 30
c) 21, 35
d) 24, 40
Answer: b) 18, 30
Explanation:
a/b =3/5 → b = 5/3 a → a – b = 12 → a – 5a/3 = 12 → -2a/3 = 12 → a= -18? Check carefully:
Better approach: Let a = 3x, b =5x → b-a =? Wait, a-b =12 → 3x -5x=-2x=12 → x=-6 → a=3x= -18, b= -30. Negative?
Check ratio difference formula: a:b=3:5, difference=12 → difference between 3x and 5x = 2x → 2x=12 → x=6 → a=18, b=30 ✅ Correct.
