Find two natural numbers, the sum of whose squares is 25 times their sum and also equal to 50 times their difference.

Let the two natural numbers be x and y.

According to the question


x2 + y2 = 25(x + y) – – – – – (1)


x2 + y2 = 50(x – y) – – – – (2)


From (1) and (2) we get


25(x + y) = 50(x – y)


x + y = 2(x – y)


x + y = 2x – 2y


y + 2y = 2x – x


3y = x – – – – – (3)


From (2) and (3) we get


(3y)2 + y2 = 50(3y – y)


9y2 + y2 = 50(3y – y)


10 y2 = 100y


y = 10


From (3) we have,


x = 3y = 3.10 = 30


Hence the two natural numbers are 30 and 10.
