Question 4

The average of two numbers is 10 and the product of two numbers is 96. Find the two numbers.

Solution

Let the numbers be $$x$$ and $$y$$

Average = $$\frac{(x+y)}{2}=10$$

=> $$x+y=10\times2=20$$ ------------(i)

Product = $$xy=96$$ ------------(ii)

Solving above equations, we get : $$x=12$$ and $$y=8$$

=> Ans - (B)
