Let smaller number be X and larger number be Y.
Given that : Three time's the smaller number = 2 Times the larger number.
3X = 2Y.
X = (2Y/3)
Sum of larger and smaller number = 60
X + Y = 60
2Y/3 + Y = 60
2Y + 3Y = 60 × 3
5Y = 60×3
Y = (60×3/5)
Y = 12×3 = 36.
Putting the value of Y in,
X = (2Y/3) = 2 × 36/3 = 24.
Larger number = Y = 36.
and,
Smaller number = X = 24.
