Correct Answer - Option 2 : 300
Given:
Difference between two numbers is 50.
Calculation:
Let the two numbers be A and B. A decreased by 15% and B is increased by 19%.
According to statement, A × (85/100) = B × (119/100)
⇒ A × 5 = B × 7
⇒ A/B = 7/5
Now, difference = A – B = 7x – 5x = 2x = 50
⇒ x = 25
Thus, Sum = A + B = 7x + 5x = 12x = 12 × 25 = 300
