Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Suppose first number $ =x $ and second number $ =y $ Then, $ 8^{2}-y^{2}=15 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ y^{2}=64-15=49 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ y=7 $ Also, $ x^{2}+y^{3}=568 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x^{2}+7^{3}=568 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x^{2}=568-343 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x^{2}=225 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=15 $
Hence, $ \frac{3}{5}\times $ first number $ =\frac{3}{5}\times 15=9 $
