  • Options
  • A. 45
  • B. 36
  • C. 54
  • D. 63

  • Correct Answer
  • 36 

    Explanation

    Let the two number are a and b
    According to the question
    sum of squares of two numbers = 97
    i.e.., a 2 + b 2 = 97 .....................(i)
    and square of their difference = 25
    i.e., (a - b) 2 = 25 .................(ii)
    ? a - b = 5...............(iii)
    from Eq. (ii)
    a2 + b2 - 2ab = 25
    (a2 + b2) - 2ab = 25
    Now put the value of a 2 + b 2 from Eq. (i)
    ? 97 - 2ab = 25
    ? 2ab = 72
    ? ab = 36.................(iv)
    Now, we have
    (a + b)2 = ( a2 + b2) + 2ab
    Now put the value of a 2 + b 2 from Eq. (i) and ab from Eq. (iv)
    (a + b)2 = 97 + 72 = 169
    a + b = 13.............(v)
    Now add the Eqs. (iii) and (v), we get
    a - b + a + b = 5 +13
    2a = 18
    ? a = 9
    now put the value of a in Eq. (v)
    a + b = 13
    9 + b = 13
    b = 13 - 9
    b = 4
    ? Product of both the numbers = ab = 9 x 4 = 36
