  1. Given :-

    • We have been given that ratio of two numbers is 3:2
    • Difference of the given two numbers is 15

    To Find :-

    • We have to find the given numbers

    How to Solve :-

    • Write the two given numbers in form of an unknown variable x
    • Apply the given conditions in the Question and form Equations
    • Simplify the equation so formed , and find the value of variable
    • Put the value of variable in the numbers

    Solution :-

    Since , we have been given that ratio of two given numbers is 3:2

    ● Let the first number = 3x

    ● Second number = 2x

    According to the Question

    Difference of both the numbers is 15

    [tex]\longrightarrow \boxed{\sf{Difference \: of \: Numbers = 15}}[/tex]

    [tex]\longrightarrow \sf{3x – 2x = 15}[/tex]

    [tex]\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\sf{x = 15}}}[/tex]

    Hence, value of x comes out 15

    [tex]\\[/tex]

    Putting value of x in assumed numbers

    First number [tex]\sf{= 3x = 3 \times 15 = 45}[/tex]

    Second number [tex]\sf{= 2x = 2 \times 15 = 30}[/tex]

    Hence, two numbers are 45 and 30

    [tex]\underline{\boxed{\sf{\blue{First \: Number = 45}}}}[/tex]

    [tex]\underline{\boxed{\sf{\blue{Second \: Number = 30}}}}[/tex]

    [tex]\\[/tex]

    Verification :-

    [tex]\sf{● \: Ratio = \dfrac{45}{30} = \dfrac{3}{2}}[/tex]

    Ratio of two numbers comes out 3:2

    [tex]\sf{● \: Difference = 45 – 30= 15}[/tex]

    Difference of two numbers is 15

    [tex]\\[/tex]

    [tex]\large{\boxed{\gray{\bf{Hence \: Verified}}}} \: \: \: ✓[/tex]
