Answer:

67 and 124.

Explanation:

Let large number or second number is x and small number or first number is y,

Since, they add to 191,

⇒ x + y = 191 ----- (1),

Also, the second is 57 bigger than the first,

⇒ x - y = 57 ----(2),

Adding equations (1) and (2),

We get,

2x = 248

x = 124

From equation (1),

124 + y = 191

⇒ y = 67

Hence, the numbers are 67 and 124.
