The answer is 25 and 13

Here’s how I worked it out:-

half of 38 = 19

Difference required is 12, so half of this should be added to 19 and the other half subtracted

19 + 6 = 25

19 – 6 = 13

25 + 13 = 38

assume one number as ‘x’ and another as ‘y’

according to one condition,

x + y =38 …………(1)

according to other condition,

x – y =12 ……………(2)

adding 1 and 2,

2x = 50

x=25

y= 25-12

=13

the 2 numbers are 25 and 13.
