Dear Student

Here is the solution:

Let the two numbers be x and y respectively,
such that y > x.
According to the question,
y = 3x ……………… (1)
y – x = 26 …………..(2)
Substituting the value of (1) into (2),
we get
3x – x = 26
x = 13 ……………. (3)
Substituting (3) in (1),
we get
y = 39
Hence, the numbers are 13 and 39
