If two numbers are in the ratio 2:3. If 10 is subtracted from both of the numbers then the ratio becomes 2:4 then find the biggest number?
Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 20  B) 22  C) 27  D) 28  E) 30
Given Ratio =&gt; 2:3   2x - 10 : 3x - 10 = 2 : 4   4[2x - 10] = 2[3x - 10]   8x - 40 = 6x - 20   8x - 6x = 40 - 20   x = 10   Then biggest number is = 3x   3x = 30   Ans = 30
