Answer
Let the numbers be x and y.
Given,
Sum of numbers is 50.
⇒ x + y = 50
⇒ y = 50 - x ………(1)
Given,
Product of numbers is 525.
⇒ xy = 525 ………(2)
Substituting value of y from equation (1) in equation(2), we get:
⇒ x(50 - x) = 525
⇒ 50x - x2 = 525
⇒ x2 - 50x + 525 = 0
⇒ x2 - 35x - 15x + 525 = 0
⇒ x(x - 35) - 15(x - 35) = 0
⇒ (x - 15)(x - 35) = 0
⇒ (x - 15) = 0 or (x - 35) = 0 [Using zero-product rule]
⇒ x = 15 or x = 35.
Substituting value of x in equation (1), we get :
Case 1 :
If x = 15, y = 50 − 15 = 35.
Case 2:
If x = 35, y = 50 − 35 = 15.
Hence, the two natural numbers are 15 and 35.
