Re: About cpp connectivity
There is no possible answer for this...You told their product is 12. So the possible combination is (1,12),(2,6),(3,4)
Whether the number is +ve or -ve, there is no possible for getting the difference 8. If i am wrong then correct me...otherwise correct your question... -------------------- suresh |

Re: About cpp connectivity
The answer is 88
It is given that a -b = 8 and ab = 12 we need to calculate a^2 + b^2 We know that a^2 + b^2 = (a-b)^2 + 2ab = 8^2 + 2 *12 = 88 To Suresh, It is not given that both a and b are integers and you are not asked to find the values of a and b. Hope this helps you guys.
