      B 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the smaller number be 2x.
      So, the greater number = 1.5 ├Ч 2x = 3x.
      ATQ, 2x + 4 = (2x + 3x) / 2
      тЗТ 2x + 4 = 5x / 2
      тЗТ 4x + 8 = 5x
      тЗТ x = 8
      So, the sum = 5x = 5 ├Ч 8 = 40.
