Question

Of two numbers whose sum is 27 and product is 182 then the largest number is.
Options 15,14,12,6

Answer 1

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

then according to the given conditions,

x+y=27⇒y=27-x

xy=182

x(27-x)=182

27x-x²=182

x²-27+182=0

by solving the quadratic equation using -b±√b²-4ac/2a

x=13 or 14

so larger number is 14
