Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Let the numbers be x and y, respectively. According to the question, $ x+y=16 $ … (i) and $ \frac{2x}{5}-2=\frac{y}{3} $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{2x}{5}-\frac{y}{3}=2 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 6x-5y=30 $ … (ii) On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get $ x=10 $ and $ y=6 $

$ \therefore $ Product of numbers $ =xy=10\times 6=60 $
