Question

The product of two numbers is 120 and the sum of their squares is 289. The sum of the number is:

Options:
A .  20
B .  23
C .  169
D .  None of these
Answer: Option B

Let the numbers be x and y.


Then, xy = 120 and x2 + y2 = 289.


Therefore  (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy = 289 + (2 x 120) = 529


therefore  x + y = 529 = 23.
