Let the two numbers be x and y respectively.
Sum = 100 ⇒ x + y = 100
After subtracting 5 from each number, the two numbers becomes (x - 5) and (y - 5).
Product = 0 ⇒ (x - 5) × (y - 5) = 0
⇒ Either x = 5 or y = 5
If x = 5, then y = 95
& If y = 5, then x = 95
So one of the original numbers is 95 and the other is 5.
