Step-by-step explanation:
Let the greater number be x and the smaller number be y.
According to the first condition, x – y =3 (i) According to the second condition, 3x + 2y =19 (ii) Multiplying equation (i) by 2, we get
2x – 2y = 6
(iii) Adding equations (ii) and (iii), we get Substituting x = 5 in equation (i), we get 5 – y = 3 ∴ 5 – 3 = y ∴ y = 2 ∴ The required numbers are 5 and 2. option c is correct answer
