& Other be x + 2.
x + x + 2 = 12768
2x + 2 = 12768
2x = 12768 - 2 = 12766.
x = 12766/2
x = 6383.
x + 2 = 6383 + 2 = 6385. Is the Grater Number.             Answer...........

Answer 2

Let the first no. be x
second no. be x + 2
x + x + 2 = 12768
2x + 2 = 12768
2x = 12768 - 2
2x = 12766
x = 12766 ÷ 2
x = 6383
putting the value of x
= x + 2
= 6383 + 2
= 6385
