(1) 45 (2) 60 3) 54 4)66 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

ans - The second no is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number

Let y be the second number

x=y-36

x: y  : 2:5

x/y =2/5

y-36/y = 2/5

y-36 =(2/5) y

5y-180 = 2y

5y-2y =180

3y =180

y= 60

x=60-36 =24

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x

5x-2x=36

x=36/3

x=12

5x=5*12=60
