Answer 1

Hi Friend !!!

Here is ur answer !!!

Let the smaller be a

Then greater = 9a

a+9a = 150

10a = 150

a = 15

So smaller = 15

Greater = 9a

= 9×15

= 135

Answer 2

Hope u like my process
======================
Given,
One of the number = x
Other number = 9x = (150 - x)

So,
9x =150 - x
or, 10x = 150
or, x = 15

Thus the smaller number = x=15
The greater number = (150-x) =(150 - 15)=135
