The arithemetic mean and the geometric mean of two distinct 2-digit numbers x and y are two integers one of which can be obtained by reserving the digits of the other (in base 10 representation). Then x + y equalsA. 82B. 116C. 130D. 148

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`(x+y)/(2)=10 a+b, sqrt(xy)=10 b+a" "(a, b in N)`
`xy=(10b+a)^(2)`
`(x-y)^(2)=4(11a+11b)(9a-9b)`
`=4.11 . (a+b). 9(a-b)`
`rArr a+b=11, a-b=1`
`a=6, b=5`
`((x-y)^(2)" is perfect square of an integer")`
`x+y=130`
