A) 546, 3901 B) 415, 3770

Explanation:

Let the smaller number be k.
Then, larger number = (3355 + k)
Therefore 3355 + k = (6k + 15)
‹=› 5k = 3340
‹=› k = 668.

Therefore, the smaller number k = 668 and now the larger number = 3355+668 = 4023.

Given that mill worth originally =3ooooo

Depreciation for 1 yr =300000x5/100= Rs. 15000

Then, depreciation for 5yrs = Rs. 75000

Value after 5yrs = 300000 - 75000 = Rs. 225000

Given Selling Price of the mill = Rs. 250000

Sp > CP

Gain = 250000 - 225000 = Rs. 25000

Gain% = 25000/250000 x 100 = 10%.
