Hallo dear!!!
Gd afternoon.
Have a nice day ahead!!
Answer: The two numbers are 36 and 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and y.
We know that.. product of two numbers = HCFx LCM.
Therefore XY= 12 x 72= 864….(1)
According to given condition, their sum is 60
Therefore x+y = 60……….(2)
We know that
(x-y)² =(x+y)² -4xy
Substitute values from 1 & 2
(X-y)² = 3600–4x864=144
X-Y =√144= 12…(3)
By solving 2 and 3
We get x=36 and y=24
Hope it helps u.
