Number System Practice Test 3

Question : 16 of 40

Marks: +1, -0

Find the numbers if the sum of their squares is 170 and the difference of squares is 16.

Solution:

Let x and y be such numbers
Now

x^2+y^2=170

and

(x - y)^2 = 16

x^2+y^2-2xy=16

170 - 2xy = 16

170 - 16 = 2xy

154/2=xy

xy=77=7×11

So, the numbers will be 7 and 11.
