Two numbers are in the ratio 11 : 12 and their sum is 460.Find the numbers?

First, we calculate sum of ratio=11+12=23

Then we divide 460 by that sum=460/23=20

So now that we know the value of 1 in 11:12, we can find them respectively.

11*20=220

12*20=240

=220:240=11:12

  11x + 12x = 23x

              23x = 460

                  x  = 460/ 23 ; x = 20

       The numbers are :  11 * 20  =  220

                                          12 * 20  =  240
