Two numbers are in ratio of 5 : 6 if 8 is subtracted from each of the numbers, they become in the ratio of 4: 5 . find the numbers.

LET 1ST NO. BE 5X AND SECOND BE 6X

IF 8 IS SUBTRACTED

THEN NO. BECOMES 5X-8 AND 6X-8

AND THEIR RATIO IS 4/5

ATQ

5X-8/6X-8 = 4/5

25X-40 = 24X-32

25X-24X = -32+40

X= 8

THEN NO ARE 5X = 5*8 = 40

6X = 6*8 = 48
