Ratio of two numbers = 2 : 5.

To Find :-

The Numbers.

Solution :-

let the two number  be 2x and 5x.

According to the Question.

Then

⇒ 5x - 2x = 99

⇒ 5x - 2x = 99

⇒ 3x = 99

⇒ x = 99/3

⇒ x = 33

1st Number = 2 × 33 = 66

2nd Number = 5 × 33 = 165

Hence,  the two  numbers are 66 and 165.

Verification :-

⇒ ( 2nd - 1st ) Numbers = Difference

⇒ ( 165 - 66 ) = 99

⇒ 99 = 99

Hence Verified.
