from each of the 2 unequal numbers,half of the smaller no is substracted .then of the resulting nos,the larger no is five times than the smaller one.then the ratio of the larger to the smaller is

• @ PARAM u did silly mistake here....
  
  x and 2y;
  half of smaller number subtracted (x-y), (2y-y)
  resulting number 5 times greater
  (x-y)=5y;
  x=6y;
  x:y=6:2
  x:y = 3:1(ans)

• 9:2 is the solution
