Solution

Let a and b be two numbers.AM:GM=5:4a+b2ab=542(a+b)=5abSquaring both sides,we get4a2+4b2-17ab =04a2-16ab-ab+4b2=04a(a-4b)-b(a-4b)=0(a-4b)(4a-b)=0a=4b or a=b4Also,GM -HM =-54ab-2aba+b=-54(i)Putting a=4b,we get4b2-8b25b=-542b-8b5=-542b5=-54b=-258Thus, a=4b=4×-258=-252(ii) a=b4b24-2(b4)bb4+b=-54b2-2b5=-54b10=-54b=-252a=-258
