Let the two numbers have arithmetic mean 9 and geometric mean 4. Then, these numbers are the roots of the quadratic equation

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

{x^2} - 18x + 16 = 0

Option B (

{x^2} - 18x + 16 = 0

) is correct because the sum of the roots is 18 (twice the arithmetic mean) and the product of the roots is 16 (the square of the geometric mean).
