The product of two numbers is 9375 and the quotient, when the larger one is divided by the smaller, is 15. The sum of the numbers is:
380
395
400
425
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

Then, xy = 9375 and x = 15.
y

xy = 9375
(x/y) 15

y2 = 625.

y = 25.

x = 15y = (15 x 25) = 375.

Sum of the numbers = x + y = 375 + 25 = 400.
