Let two humbers have arithmatic mean 9 and geometric mean 4. Then these numbers are roots of the equation :

A

`x^(2)-18x-16=0`

B

`x^(2)-18x+16=0`

C

`x^(2)+18x" "16=0`

D

`x^(2)+18x+16=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
If A and G are the A.M. and G.M. respectively of two numbers, then the numbers are the roots of the equation
`x^(2)-2Ax+G^(2)=0`
Here, A=9 and G=4.
So, the numbers are the roots of the equation `x^(2)-18x+16=0`
