Answer 1

AnSwEr -:


The required integers are 48 and 12.

_______________________________

Let the number be x .

X > 0

Difference between two positive

integers is 36.

Another number be n−36

According to the question ,

Quotient when one is divided by

another =4

X/X- 36 = 4

X= 4 ( X - 36)

X= 4 X - 144

4X - x = 144

3 x = 144

X= 144/3

X= 48

1st no. = 48

2nd no. = 48 - 36 = 12

The required integers are 48 and 12.
