• A. 12 and 13
• B. 19 and 6
• C. 17 and 8
• D. 15 and 10

Answer 1

The correct option is B 19 and 6

Let Two Numbers be x and y.

According to the question:

x+y = 25 …….(1)

x-y = 13 …….(2)

Adding equations (1) and (2)

2x = 38

x = 19

Substituting x = 19 in equation (1)

19 + y = 25

y = 6

x and y are 19 and 6 respectively.
