Answer: (5)

Solution: (5)

$x+y=11^{2}+9^{3}$,

Where $x$ is the larger number

$\Rightarrow x+y=121+729$

$\Rightarrow x+y=850$

$x=25^{2}-5^{2}=(25+5)(25-5)$ $=30 \times 20=600$

$\therefore y=850-600=250$

$\therefore$ Required sum $=\frac{250 \times 24 \times 2}{100}+\frac{600}{2}$ $=120+300=420$
