Answer:
Smaller number = 12, Larger number = 37
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be y.
So, the larger number = 3y + 1
Sum of both the numbers = 49
⇒ y + (3y +1) = 49
or, 4y = 49 -1 = 48
⇒ y = 48/4 = 12
So, the smaller number = 12
The larger number is (3y + 1) = 3(12) + 1 = 37
So, both the numbers are 12 and 37.
