    A 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 46 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the smaller number be 5x.
    Greater = 1.2 × 5x = 6x.
    ATQ, 5x + 2 = (5x + 6x) / 2
    ⇒ 10x + 4 = 11x
    ⇒ x = 4
    Sum = 11x = 11 × 4 = 44.
