    A 3526 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3543 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4425 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the larger number be 'x' and the smaller number be 'y'. ATQ, x + y = 3572 ....(i) x = y × 119 + 6 Or, x - 119y = 6 ....(ii) On subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get, 120y = 3566 Or, y = 29.72 Put the value of 'y' in equation (i), we get, x + 29 = 3572 Or, x = 3543.
