Question

The product of two numbers is 9375 and the quotient, when the larger one is divided by the smaller, is 15. The sum of the numbers is:

Options:
A .  380
B .  395
C .  400
D .  425
Answer: Option C

Let the numbers be x and y.


Then, xy = 9375 and   \(\frac{x}{y}\) = 15.


\(\frac{xy}{(\frac{x}{y})} = \frac{9375}{15}\)


 y2 = 625.


 y = 25.


 x = 15y = (15 x 25) = 375.


Therefore Sum of the numbers = x + y = 375 + 25 = 400.
