Difference between the two numbers = 5
Ratio If 25 is subtracted from the smaller number and 20 is added to the greater number = 1 : 2
Calculation:
Let the greater number and smaller number be x and (x – 5) respectively
Now, according to the question,
(x – 5 – 25) : (x + 20) = 1 : 2
⇒ (x – 30)/(x + 20) = 1/2
⇒ 2x – 60= x + 20
⇒ x = 80
∴ The greater number is 80
