​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi✌️✌️

Let the greater number be a

Smaller number = 150 - a

According to question,

40 % of a = 60 % of ( 150 - a)

=> 40a/100 = 60 ( 150-a) /100

=> 40a = 60 (150 - a)

=> 2a = 3 (150 - a)

=> 2a = 450 - 3a

=> 5a = 450

=> a = 90

Greater number = 90

Smaller number = 60
