Answer 2

$\Large{\textbf{\underline{\underline{According\;to\;the\;Question}}}}$

Here,

Assume

Two numbers be p and t

So,

Situation,

First :-

p - t = 26 …………… (1)

Second :-

p = 3t …………........ (2)

Now,

Putting the value of p in (1) :-

p - t = 26

(3t) - t = 26

2t = 26

t = 26/2

t = 13

Now,

Substitute value of t in (2),

p = 3t

p = 3 (13)

p = 39

Therefore,

Required Numbers are 39 & 13
