Option 3 : 10
Given:
Product of two whole numbers = 24
Calculations:
All the possible product pairs of 24 are (1 × 24), (2 × 12), (3 × 8), (4 × 6)
Checking the sum for the given pairs
⇒ 1 + 24 = 25
⇒ 2 + 12 = 14
⇒ 3 + 8 = 11
⇒ 4 + 6 = 10
Amongst the given product pairs of 24, (4 × 6) gives the smallest sum
∴ The smallest possible sum of these numbers is 10
