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.
