Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 17 Given: Product of two numbers = 60 Sum of the squares of the two numbers = 169 Formula used: (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab Calculation: Let the two numbers be x and y Then, according to the question: xy = 60 ----eq.(1) x2 + y2 = 169 ----eq.(2) Also, (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy ⇒ (x + y)2 = 169 + (2 × 60); From eq.1 and eq.2 ⇒ (x + y)2 = 289 ⇒ x + y = 17 ∴ Sum of the two numbers = 17 |
