   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
