Answer : 4. "100 & 4"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 100 & 4 Explanation: Let the first number be x and the second number be y. Given 5% of x = (25% of y) + y => 5x/100 = 5y/4 => x = 25y ......(1) and also given that, x - y = 96 => x = 96 + y .....(2) From (1)&(2) 25y = 96 + y => 24y = 96 => y = 4 From (1) x = 96 + 4 = 100 Hence, the numbers are 100 & 4.

Answer : 2. "60 kms"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 60 kms Explanation: Let 'd' be the distance and 's' be the speed and 't' be the timed=sxt45 mins = 3/4 hr and 48 mins = 4/5 hrAs distance is same in both cases;s(3/4) = (s-5)(4/5)3s/4 = (4s-20)/515s = 16s-80s = 80 km.=> d = 80 x 3/4 = 60 kms.
