The sum of two numbers is 70. If one number is 2/5 times the other, then find the numbers?

48, 22

40, 30

45, 25

50, 20

Let one number be x. Therefore, according to the question, the other number will be 2/5 times x, which is 2/5×x or 2x/5

x+(2x/5)=70 =(5x+2x)/5=70

=5x+2x=70×5 =7x= 350

= x = 350/7 = x= 50

Therefore 2x/5 = (2×50)/5 = 100/5 = 20

Therefore the numbers are 50 and 20

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
