The two numbers are 60 and 96

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Two numbers are in ratio 5:8

Let x is the common difference

First number = 5x

Second number = 8x

Now as given the difference of two numbers is 48

Therefore we have

8x-5x=48\\\\\Rightarrow 4x=48\\\\\Rightarrow x=12

First number = 5x = 5\times 12 = 60

Second number = 8x=8\times 12 = 96

Hence,the two numbers are 60 and 96
