  1. The product of two positive numbers is 11520 and their quotient is 9/5 . Find the difference of two numbers.
    1. 60
    2. 64
    3. 74
    4. 70
Correct Option: B

Let us assume the two numbers are P and Q.
According to question,
∴ PQ = 11520

and 
P
=
9
Q5

Now multiply the above two equation, we will get
∴   PQ ×
P
= 11520 ×
9
Q5

⇒ P2 = 2304 × 9
⇒  P = √2304 × 9
⇒  P = 48 × 3 = 144
We know from the given above Equation  
P
=
9
Q5

Q =
5 × 144
= 80
9

∴ Required difference = P - Q = 144 – 80 = 64
