Detailed Solution

Let the larger number be x and smaller one be y. We know that 
Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder ….(i)
When 3x is divided by y, we get 4 as quotient and 3 as remainder. Therefore, by using (i), we get 3x=4y+33x4y3=0  ….(ii)
When 7y is divided by x, we get 5 as quotient and 1 as remainder. Therefore, by using (i), we get 7y=5x+15x7y+1=0  ….(iii)
Solving equations (ii) and (iii), by cross – multiplication, we get x421=y3+15=121+20x=25 and y=18 
Hence, the required numbers are 25 and 18.
