      A 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the numbers be 6a and 13a respectively.
      According to the question-
      (6a + 3)/(13a + 3) = 1/2
      12a + 6 = 13a + 3
      a = 3
      Hence, smaller number = 6*3 = 18
