  • Question
  • The product of two positive numbers is p. If each of the numbers is increased by 2, the new product is how much greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers ?


  • Options
  • A. p times
  • B. 2p times
  • C. (p + 4) times
  • D. (2p + 3) times

  • Correct Answer
  • (p + 4) times 

    Explanation

    Let the two no's be a and b;
    Given product of the no's is p = ab;
    If the each nos is increased by 2 then the new product will be
    (a+2)(b+2) = ab + 2a + 2b + 4
    = ab + 2(a+b) + 4
    = p + 2(a+b) + 4
    Hence the new product is (p+4) times greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers.
