The product of two positive numbers is p. If each of the numbers is increased by 2, the new product is how much greater than
twice the sum of the two original numbers?

• Ans. p+4
  Original products= XY= P
  New Product = (X+2)(Y+2)= XY+ 2(X+Y) +4 = P+2(X+Y)+4
  So, the new product is (P+4) greater than
  twice the sum of the two original numbers.

• let number are x,y than product is xy ....
  increase by 2 than x+2,y+2...product is xy+2x+2y+4=2(x+y) given
  so it increase by 4 answer

• let the two nos be a and b;
  product of the nos is ab;
  if the each nos is increased by 2 then the new product will be
  (a+2)(b+2)=ab+2a+2b+4
  =ab+2(a+b)+4
  hence the new product increased by 4.

• (p+4) ans.
  xy=p que is (x+2)(y+2) > ?+(2(x+y)
  (x+2)(y+2)=xy+4+2(x+y)=p+4+2(x+y)

• assume x and y 2 positive integers...then xy=p
  (x+2)(y+2)=xy+2y+2x+4
  =p+4+2(x+y)
  ans is p+4

• x *Y=p
  (x+2)(y+2)=2(x+y) +xy+4
  =2(x+y) +p+4
  ans=p+4

• let the no. be x and y
  a/q
  (x+2)(y+2)=?+2(x+y)
  xy+2x+2y+4=?+2x+2y
  p+2x+2y+4=?+2x+2y
  p+4=? (ans)

• The new product is (p+4) greater than....

• let two nos be x and y. so xy=p. now a/c to ques x+2 * y+2 - 2 * x+y= xy+4 which is actually p+4.so its clearly greater than p by 4.hence 4 is the correct ans
