m/n = 6/5 = 1.2
m = 1.2n
n*m = 750
---
n*m = 750
n*(1.2n) = 750
n*n = 750/1.2
n*n = 625
n = sqrt( 625 )
---
Answer:
n = 25
m = 1.2 * 25 = 30

Let the nos. be 6x and 5x
Product of two nos.will be 6x multiplied by 5x equals 750
Therefore 30 x square will be 750
X square equals 750/30
Therefore x square equals 25
That is x equals 5
Therefore the nos.will be 6 multiplied by 5 and 5 multiplied by 5
That is 30 and 25
