  • 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

  • Correct Answer
  • 23 

    Explanation
    Let the numbers be x and y.

    Then, xy = 120 and x2 + y2 = 289.

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

    x + y = √529 = 23.
