Two numbers are in the ratio 8 : 11. If 15 is added to each number, the ratio becomes 11 : 14. Find the larger number before increment.

Notice the ratio changes from 8:11 to 11:14. The difference between the parts for both numbers increases by exactly 3 units (11 - 8 = 3 and 14 - 11 = 3).
Since adding 15 causes an increase of 3 ratio units, then 3 units = 15, meaning 1 unit = 5.
The original larger number is 11 units, so 11 \times 5 = 55.
