There's no such thing.
But the Earth and Moon are the closest thing to what you described.
The Moon is actually quite large when you compare the differences in primary/satellite size through the rest of the solar system.
But it's still definitely smaller than Earth.

Many people think that moons are smaller than planets. This however is not true. There are several moons in the Solar System which are larger than both the planets Mercury, and Pluto. Neither are the moons less exciting then the planets. There are moons with volcanos, atmospheres, and even quite possibly liquid water oceans. The difference between what we call a moon, and what we call a planet has to do only with around what the world revolves, or circles. If the object circles the Sun it is called a Planet, however if it circles another world instead of the sun then it is called a moon. Moons sadly are often ignored, even though they are just as large splendid and exciting as the planets. Neither Mercury nor Venus have any moons.

This is a trick Q?
Moon is always smaller then the planet, by definition.
But.
In case of Pluto astronomer had made mistakes and that is why it is called dwarf planet, I believe one moon is the actual planet and the moon closest to earth was initially unidentified as the planet hence the confusion, and status change from time to time, as more data is available.

If a planet has a bigger moon than itself then the planet will revolve around it coz according to Newton's gravitational Law.... A body having a larger mass will have greater gravitational force that's y mass is directly proportional to gravitational force....Hence the bigger moon will attract the planet n the planet will revolve around it or either they'll collide...

None.
If the 'moon' was bigger, the 'planet' would be revolving around it. So, the 'moon' would actually be the planet and the 'planet' would be the satellite.
Charon, Pluto's moon, is the biggest with comparision to its planet's size(it is around half the size of Pluto). Charon is followed by the Earth's moon(quarter of the Earth).

If the moon was larger, - it would BE the planet.
Read your homework questions more carefully.
