    A 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 88 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 33 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the numbers be ‘x’ and ‘y’ respectively.

    According to the question,

    ⇒ 0.55x = 0.33y

    ⇒ x/y = 0.33 / 0.55 = 3/5

    So the numbers are in the ratio 3 : 5

    Sum of the numbers = 3 + 5 = 8 units = 352

    ⇒ 1 unit = 352 ÷ 8 = 44

    ⇒ Difference = (5 – 3) units = 2 units = 88
