State two numbers such that the lesser number is 25% less than the greater number.

75 and 100.
It is 25% lesser because if you subtract 75 and 100 from each other, you get 25.

Another pair would be 8 and 6 because 6 is 2 less than 8 and 2 is 25% of 8

To satisfy the condition that one number is 25% less than the other, you can choose a greater number, say 100, then the lesser number would be 75. Alternatively, choosing 80 as the greater number gives us 60 as the lesser number. Thus, pairs like (75, 100) or (60, 80) fulfill this requirement.
