One-fourth of a number is equal to two-fifth of another number. If 50 is added to the larger number, it becomes two times the second number.

What is the smaller number?

Let the numbers be x & y.

x/4 = 2y/5; x = 8y/5 > y ; x is larger number
x + 50 = 2y
8y/5 + 50 = 2y
2y/5 = 50
y = 50*5/2 = 125
x = 300

The smaller number = y = 125
