Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{\tt{Answer:-}}}$

Difference of two positive numbers is 72.

According to question,

=> M - N = 72

=> M = 72 + N (eq 1)

The quotient obtained on dividing the one by another is 4.

$\huge{\boxed{\tt{Explanation:-}}}$

We know that,

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

=> M = (N × 4) + 0

=> M = 4N + 0

=> M = 4N {eq 2)

Put value of M in (eq 1)

=> 4N = 72 + N

=> 4N - N = 72

=> 3N = 72

=> N = 24

Put value of N in (eq 2)

=> M = 4(24)

=> M = 96

Hence, the two positive numbers are 96 and 24.

Answer 2

Answer:

so the two nos are 24 and 96

Explanation:

x-y=72

x=72+y

72+y/y=4

72+y=4y

72=3y

y=24

x=72+y=72+24=96
