Question:

The product of 2 numbers is 1575 and their quotient is ​\( \frac{9}{7} \)​. Then the sum of the numbers is

a.   74
b.   78
c.   80
d.   90

Answer:

Let the numbers be x and y.
\( \therefore xy=1575 \)​ and ​\( \frac{x}{y}=\frac{9}{7} \)
\( \therefore \frac{xy}{(\frac{x}{y})}=\frac{1575}{(\frac{9}{7})} \)
\( \therefore y^2=1225 \)
\( \therefore y=35 \)
Hence, ​\( x=45 \)
So, sum of the numbers
\( =x+y \)
\( =35+45 \)
\( =80 \)
