The product of two numbers is 120 and the sum of their squares is 289. The sum of the number is:
20
23
169
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

Then, xy = 120 and x2 + y2 = 289.

(x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy = 289 + (2 x 120) = 529

x + y = 529 = 23.

The two numbers are 15 and 8.

Where,
15 + 8 = 23.
15* 8 = 120.
225 + 64 = 289.

120*2 = 240.
240+289 = 529.
Then;
√529 = 23.
