Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
387
Let the numbers be $ 19x \text{ and } 24x$
According to the question: $ \dfrac{19x - 36}{24x - 36} = \dfrac{3}{4} $
$4(19x - 36) = 3(24x - 36) $
$76x - 144 = 72x - 108 $
$4x = 36 $
$ x = 9 $
Numbers are $19x = 171 \text{ and } 24x = 216$
Sum = 171 + 216 = 387
Answer = 387
