let the greater no. be= x
let the smaller no. be = y
ATQ
x-y=5--------(1)
again ATQ
4x=6y
4x-6y =0---------(2)
from (1) and (2)
x-y=5
4x-6y=0
multuply 4 in equation (1)
4x-4y=20
4x-6y=0
- + -
0 2y =20
y=10
putting y=10 in equation (1)
x-y =5
x-(10) = 5
x=5+10
x=15
so the greater no. is=15
and
the smaller no. is=10
