The average of two numbers is 6.5 and square root of their product is 6. What are the numbers?
A. 11 and 2 B. 8 and 5 C. 9 and 4 D. 10 and 3 Answer: Option CShow Answer
Solution(By Apex Team)
$\begin{array}{l}\text{Let the two numbers be x and y}\\
\text{Then,}\\
x+y=6.5\times2=13\text{ and }\\
\sqrt{xy}=6\text{ or }xy=36\\
\Rightarrow(x-y)^2=(x+y)^2-4xy\\
\Rightarrow(x-y)^2=(13)^2-4\times36\\
\Rightarrow(x-y)^2=169-144\\
\Rightarrow(x-y)^2=25\\
\Rightarrow(x-y)=5\\
\text{ Solving }x+y=13\text{ and }x-y=5\\
\text{ We get }:x=9,y=4\end{array}$
