Solution
Let the fixed monthly income be Rs x.
Annual increment be Rs y.
After 4 years, his monthly salary was Rs. 4500
Monthly salary + annual increment of 4 years = 4500
x + 4y = 4500 ...(I)
After 10 years his monthly salary became 5400 rupees
Monthly salary + annual increment of 10 years = 5400
x + 10y = 5400 ...(II)
Subtracting I from II
x + 4y = 4500
x + 10y = 5400
− − −
−6y = −900
∴ y = 150
put y = 150 in equation (I)
x + 4y = 4500
x + 4 × 150 = 4500
x + 600 = 4500
x = 4500 − 600
x = 3900
Thus, the monthly salary = Rs. 3900
Annual increment = Rs.150

So, let the first number be 2x and the second number be `square`.
From the given condition,
`((2x) + square)/(square + square) = square/square`
`square (2x + square) = square (square + square)`
`square + square = square + square`
`square - square = square - square`
`- square = - square`
x = `square`
So, The first number = `2 xx square = square`
and, Second number = `3 xx square = square`
Hence, the two numbers are `square` and `square`
