    A 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 84 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    D 33 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the numbers be тАШxтАЩ and тАШyтАЩ respectively.

    According to the question,

    тЗТ 0.36x = 0.24y

    тЗТ x/y = 0.24 / 0.36 = 2/3

    So the numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3

    Sum of the numbers = 2 + 3 = 5 units = 420

    тЗТ 1 unit = 420 ├╖ 5 = 84

    тЗТ Difference = (3 тАУ 2) units = 1 unit = 84
