Answer:

Smaller number = 48

Larger number = 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x & y.

According to the first condition,

x - y = 40  

x = 40 + y     eq 1

According to the second condition,

y/x = 6/11

On cross multiplying,

11y = 6x

6x - 11y = 0   eq 2

Substituing the value of 'x' in eq 2,

6(40 + y) - 11y = 0

240 + 6y - 11y = 0

240 - 5y = 0

240 = 5y

240/5 = y

Or, y = 48

x = 40 + y

x = 40 + 48

x = 98

Thus, the two numbers are 48 & 98.

Smaller number = 48

Larger number = 98
