A) 28 and 17	B) 27 and 18	C) 25 and 15	D) 27 and 15	E) 25 and 18
Let the number be x and y. Then,   x – y = 11 ----(i) and 1/5 (x + y) = 9 =&gt; x + y = 45 ----(ii)   Adding (i) and (ii), we get: 2x = 56 or x = 28. Putting x = 28 in (i), we get: y = 17.   Hence, the numbers are 28 and 17.   28 and 17nswer is 28 and 17.
