Explanation:
A.M. = 34
(a + b)/2 = 34
a + b = 68 -----(1)
G.M. = 16
√ab = 16
ab = 256
4ab = 1024 -----(2)
equation (1) & (2) Se
(a+b)² - 4ab = (a-b)²
(68)² - 1024 = (a-b)²
4624 - 1024 = (a-b)²
(a-b)² = 3600
a - b = 60 -----(3)
equation (1) + (3) Se
2a = 128
a = 64
equation (1) Se
64 + b = 68
b = 4
The greater number is a = 64
