Correct Answer: 24 and 40


Solution : The two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 5 and their highest common factor (HCF) is 8.
The numbers are obtained by multiplying the HCF with the ratio values. So, the numbers are:
First number = 3 × HCF = 3 × 8 = 24
Second number = 5 × HCF = 5 × 8 = 40
Hence, the correct answer is 24 and 40.
