The product of two numbers is 9375 and the quotient, when the larger one is divided by the smaller, is 15. The sum of the numbers is:

  • (A) 500
  • (B) 350
  • (C) 400
  • (D) 425
  • Solution: Let’s the larger number x and the smaller one y.
  • Given: x × y = 9375
  • x ÷ y = 15, so x = 15y
  • Let’s plug that in:
  • 15y × y = 9375 → 15y² = 9375
  • So, y² = 625 => y = 25
  • Now, x = 15 × 25 = 375
  • Add them up: 375 + 25 = 400
