    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.
    A 34.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25.1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16.1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 29.8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    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
