Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 19

Given:

The product of two numbers is 228 and one number is 7 more than the second number

Concept Used:

Basic concept of arithmetic

Calculation:

Let the first number be x then second number will be (x + 7) and their product is 228

∴ x × (x + 7) = 228

⇒ x2 + 7x – 228 = 0

⇒ x2 + 19x – 12x – 228 = 0

⇒ (x + 19) × (x - 12) = 0

⇒ x = -19 and 12

So, the greatest number is 19

Hence, option (4) is correct
