The sum of two numbers is 59 and their product is 840. Find the sum of their squares.
Let the two numbers are $$a$$ and $$b$$
Given,
Product of the numbers = 840
$$=$$>Â $$ab = 840$$
Sum of the numbers = 59
$$=$$>Â $$a+b = 59$$
$$=$$> Â $$\left(a+b\right)^2=59^2$$
$$=$$> Â $$a^2+b^2+2ab=3481$$
$$=$$> Â $$a^2+b^2+2\left(840\right)=3481$$
$$=$$> Â $$a^2+b^2+1680=3481$$
$$=$$> Â $$a^2+b^2=3481-1680$$
$$=$$> Â $$a^2+b^2=1801$$
$$\therefore\ $$Sum of their squares = 1801
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
