Find two natural numbers, the sum of whose squares is 25 times their sum and also equal to 50 times their difference.
Question:
Find two natural numbers, the sum of whose squares is 25 times their sum and also equal to 50 times their difference.
Solution:
Let the two natural numbers be $x$ and $y$.
According to the question:
$x^{2}+y^{2}=25(x+y) \ldots$ (i)
$x^{2}+y^{2}=50(x-y) \ldots$ (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get:
$25(x+y)=50(x-y)$
$\Rightarrow x+y=2(x-y)$
$\Rightarrow x+y=2 x-2 y$
$\Rightarrow y+2 y=2 x-x$
$\Rightarrow 3 y=x \quad \ldots$ (iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we get:
$(3 y)^{2}+y^{2}=50(3 y-y)$
$\Rightarrow 9 y^{2}+y^{2}=100 y$
$\Rightarrow 10 y^{2}=100 y$
$\Rightarrow y=10$
From (iii), we have:
$3 \times 10=x$
$\Rightarrow 30=x$
Hence, the two natural numbers are 30 and 10 .
