Let two numbers be x & y
∴=
[cross multiplication]
6x-5y=0
If 8 is subtracted from both the numbers, the ratio is 4:5
=
5(x-8)=4(y-8)
5x-40=4y-32
5x-4y=8

Multiplying equation(1) by 4 & equation (2) by 5
we have,
24x-20y=0..
25x-20y=40..

Subtract equation (3) from (4)
we have,
x=40
Now,
Substuting the value x=40 in equation (1),we have
6×40-5y=0
240-5y=0
240=0+5y
240=5y
48=y
y=48

Hence the two numbers are 40 & 48
