The greater of the two numbers whose product is 900 and sum exceeds their difference by 30 is
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct option is 1.
Let's consider two numbers as x & y.
Given that, Product of two numbers x & y is xy = 900 ---- (1)
and sum of the two numbers exceeds the difference by 30
i.e.., (x + y) − (x − y) = 30
=> 2y = 30
=> y = 15
Substituting y = 15 in equation 1, we get x = 60
