Answer
6 and 4
Reason
It is given that two whole numbers are in ratio 3:2.
Let the numbers be 3x and 2x.
The sum of their square = 52.
⇒ (3x)2 + (2x)2 = 52
⇒ 9x2 + 4x2 = 52
⇒ 13x2 = 52
⇒ x2 =
⇒ x2 = 4
⇒ x =
⇒ x = 2
So, the numbers = 3x = 3 x 2 or 3 x (-2) = 6 or -6
2x = 2 x 2 or 2 x (-2) = 4 or -4
Since, the given numbers are whole numbers. So, the numbers cannot be -6 and -4.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
