Let the numbers be 48x and 48y where x and y are co-primes.
48x + 48y = 384 Þ 48 ( x + y) = 384 Þ x + y = 384 / 48 = 8 ........... (i)
Possible and acceptable pairs of x and y satisfying this condition are : (1, 7) and (3, 5).
Numbers are : 48 × 1 = 48 and 48 × 7 = 336 and 48 × 3 = 144 and 48 × 5 = 240
Required difference = 336 – 48 = 288
