Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get Ratan’s number

Ravi = Ratan + Reshma

Reshma> Ravi

Let us try out the numbers

Possible sums are -9 + 7

This is because it is the only sum that will give us a number that is present in the series

The numbers left are -5 and -2

Also, Reshma was greater than Ravi

-2 = -9 + 7

so we can see that Reshma’s number is 7 here as it is the one out of the 3 in the equation greater than -9

so Ratan’s number is the last number = -5
