Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller no. be z and larger no. be y

according to the question,

80% X z = 40%x y -4. ....(1)

y=125+z. .....(2)

substituting value of y from eq. 2 to eq. 1 , we get

80/100 X z = 40/100 X (125+z) - 4

4z/5 = 2/5 X (125+z) -4

4z = 250+2z -20

---- ---------------------

5. 5

4z = 250+2z-20

4z-2z = 230

2z = 230

z = 115

y= 125 + 115=240
