The sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 4. What is their product?

  • A.160
  • B.396
  • C.360
  • D.144

Answer: B

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Given, x + y = 40 and x - y = 4.

Adding the two equations: 2x = 44, so x = 22.

Substituting x = 22 in the first equation: 22 + y = 40, so y = 18.

Their product is x × y = 22 × 18 = 396.
