The product of two numbers is 9375 and the quotient, when the larger one is divided by the smaller, is 15. The sum of the numbers is :
Correct Answer: Option D
Let the numbers be x and y.
Then, xy = 9375 and x/y = 15.
\(\left(\frac{xy}{\displaystyle\frac xy}\right)=9375/15\)
= \(\begin{array}{l}y^{2\;}=625\\\end{array}\)
=> y = 25
=> x = 15y = 15 x 25 = 375.
Sum of the numbers = 375 + 25 = 400.
