Answer 1

follow me............

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let first no be 5a and second number be 6a

Atq

5a-4=2a......eq1

6a-4=3a.......eq2

by eq 1

we have 5a-2a=4

3a=4

or. a=4/3

in eq 2

6a-4 =3a

6a -3a= 4

3a =4

or. a=4/3

first no = 5x4/3= 6.666

second no =6x4/3=8

so 8>6.666

so second no is greater
