Answer:
Let the numbers be x and 100-x.
Their AM = (x+100-x)/2 = 50
Their GM = [x(100-x)]^0.5
If the ratio of their AM and GM is 5:4, The square of the same ratio = 25:16.
Thus 50^2/[x(100-x)] = 25/16, or
25x(100-x) = 2500*16, or
x(100-x) = 1600, or
x^2–100x+1600 = 0
(x-80)(x-20) = 0
x = 80 or 20
So the two numbers are 80 and 20.
Check: AM of 80 and 20 = (80+20)/2 = 50. Correct.
GM of 80 and 20 = (80*20)^0.5 = 40. Correct.
