Two numbers are in the ratio 4 : 5 and their sum is 108. What is the larger number?
- (A)72
- (B)104
- (C)12
- (D)60
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (D) 60
Let the numbers be 4x and 5x. Then 4x + 5x = 108, so 9x = 108 and x = 12. The larger number is 5x = 5 × 12 = 60.
Shortcut: Larger number = 5/9 of 108.

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (D) 63
Let the numbers be 7x and 9x. Then 7x + 9x = 112, so 16x = 112 and x = 7. The larger number is 9x = 9 × 7 = 63.
Shortcut: Larger number = 9/16 of 112.
