Question
The product of two positive numbers is 288. If one of the
numbers is six times the other, then find the difference between the given two numbers.Solution
ATQ,
Let us assume one of the numbers is 'x'
Then, another number is = 6 × x = '6x'
So, x × 6x = 288
Or, 6x² = 288
Or, x² = 48
Or, x = 6.9 {Since the numbers are positive}
Required difference = {6 × (6.9) - 6.9} = (41.4 - 6.9) = 34.5
