Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,

Let the first number be x.It is given that the sum of both the numbers is 9. So, the second number will be 9-x.The product of both the numbers is 20. This implies that x 9-x=209x-x2=20x2-9x+20=0Factorise and solve the equation as follows:x2-5x-4x+20=0xx-5-4x-5=0x-5x-4=0x=5, 4Thus, the two such numbers are 5 and 4.The sum of their squares and cubes are as follows: 52+42=25+16=41 53+43=125+64=189
