Let us take the large number as 'x' and small number as 'y'.
It is given that,
Difference between the two numbers = 30% of larger number
x - y = x × 30/100
It is also given that, smaller number is 14 so,
x - 14 = 30x/100
100 ( x - 14 ) = 30x
100 x - 1400 = 30x
100 x - 30 x = 1400
70 x = 1400
x = 1400 / 70
x = 20
Therefore, the larger number is 20 .
The correct option is D).20
