Solution:-
Let the first smaller number be 'x' and the larger number be 110 - x
So, according to the question.
(110 - x)/5 - 8 = x/9
Taking L.C.M. and solving it, we get.
(110 - x - 40)/5 = x/9
Now, cross multiplying these, we get.
990 - 9x - 360 = 5x
630 = 5x + 9x
630 = 14x
x = 630/14
x = 45
Smaller number is 45 and the larger number is 110 - 45 = 65
