Answer 1

let two numbers are 11x and 12x 

if their sum is 460

11x+12x=460

23x=460

x=460/23

x=20

then two numbers are 

11*20 =220

and 12*20=240

verification ,

11x+12x=460

220+240=460

460=460

Answer 2

let the two numbers be 11x and 12x
sum of the two numbers is 460
11x+12x=460
23x=460
x=460/23=20

11x= 11×20=220
12x=12×20=240
