    please mark as brainlist…!!

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given Ratio is 2 : 5

    Let the first number is 2x and the other is 5x. their difference is 27,

    So, 5x – 2x = 27

    => 3x = 27

    Divide both sides by 3, we get

    x = 9

    So two numbers are

    2x =2 X 9 = 18

    and

    5x = 5 X 9= 45

    Check your answer

    45 – 18 = 27

    and 18/45 = 2 / 5

    => 2 : 5

    So, the Larger number is 45 Answer
