  1. Answer:

    30 and 50

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let 1st no. be 3x

    so 2nd no. = 5x

    so..

    (3x+20)/(5x+20)= 5/7

    21x+ 7×20= 25x+ 5×20

    4x= 2×20

    x= 10

    so 1st no.= 30

    2nd no.= 50

    ALITTER:– 3 : 5

    5 : 7

    7-5=5-3 = 2 ===>20

    1===>10

    3==>30

    5==>50
