given four time the sum of two numbers is 140
let the two numbers be a and b
4(a + b) = 140
a + b = 35 -------------- (1)
the difference of greater and the smaller is 13
if a>b, then
a-b = 13 -------------------(2)
equation (1) + (2)
a + b = 35
a - b = 13
2a = 48
a= 24
a + b = 35
24 + b = 35
b = 35 - 24
b = 11
so, answer a = 24 & b = 11
