    B 875 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 665 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;
    Let the numbers be A and B.

    Product of numbers AB = 150... (1)

    And (A + B)┬│ = 3375 = 15┬│

    So, A + B = 15... (2) From equation (1) and (2),

    A = 10 and B = 5 Therefore, A┬│ - B┬│ = 10┬│ - 5┬│ = 1000 - 125 = 875
