Answer 2

Answer :

Let us consider the two numbers as x and (84 - x), since their sum is 84.

By the given condition, one third of x exceed one seventh of (84 - x) by 8

=> 1/3 x = 1/7 (84 - x) + 8

=> x/3 = 12 - x/7 + 8

=> x/3 + x/7 = 20

=> (7x + 3x)/21 = 20

=> 10x = 210

=> x = 21

Therefore, the smaller number is 21 and the larger number is (84 - 21) = 63
