Let the two numbers be x and y
■ According to statement
Sum of two numbers is 27
⟹ x + y = 27
⟹ y = 27 - x .........(1)
■ According to statement again,
Product of two numbers is 182.
⟹ xy = 182
On using (1) we get,
x(27 - x) = 182
⟹ 27x - x² = 182
⟹ x² - 27x + 182 = 0
⟹ x² - 14x - 13x + 182 = 0
⟹ x(x - 14) - 13(x - 14) = 0
⟹ (x - 14)(x - 13) = 0
⟹ x - 14 = 0 or x - 13 = 0
⟹ x = 14 or x = 13
⟹ y = 13 or y = 14
So two numbers are 13 and 14.

- Let the first number be "a"
- Let the second number be "b"
Given that sum of two numbers is 27
➠ a + b = 27 ⚊⚊⚊⚊ ⓵
Given that the product of the same two numbers is 182
➠ a × b = 182
➜ ⚊⚊⚊⚊ ⓶
⟮ Putting the values of a from ⓶ to ⓵ ⟯
➜ a + b = 27
➜
➜
➜ 182 + b² = 27b
➜ b² - 27b + 182 = 0
➜ b² - 13b - 14b + 182 = 0
➜ b(b - 13) -14(b - 13) = 0
➜ (b - 13)(b - 14) = 0
- b = 13
- b = 14
When b = 13
⟮ Putting b = 13 in ⓵ ⟯
➜ a + b = 27
➜ a + 13 = 27
➜ a = 27 - 13
➨ a = 14
- Hence b = 13 and a = 14
When b = 14
⟮ Putting b = 14 in ⓵ ⟯
➜ a + b = 27
➜ a + 14 = 27
➜ a = 27 - 14
➨ a = 13
- Hence b = 14 and a = 13
∴ The two numbers are 13 , 14 Or 14 , 13
