The sum of square of two numbers is 80 and the square of their difference is 16. What is the product of the two numbers? Correct Answer 32

Let x and y be the two numbers. ATQ, x2 + y2 = 80.....(i) and (x - y)2 = 16 or, x2 - 2xy + y2 = 16 or, 80 - 2xy = 16 [ from (i) x2 + y2 = 80 ] or, 2xy = 80 - 16 = 64 or, xy = 32 so the product of the two number is 32
