Let the two numbers be x and y. Ratio of product, sum and difference are 24p : 7p : 1p According to the statement, x × y = 24p .......(i) x + y = 7p .......(i) x - y = 1p .......(i) Adding equation (ii) and (iii), we get, 2x=8p⇒x=4p Put x=4p in equation (ii) we get 4p+y=7p⇒y=3p Now put the values of x and y in equation (i) x×y=24p 4p×3p=24p 12p2=24p 12p=24 p=
