. We all know that Arya bhatta is the greatest mathematics belongs to india . When his daughter Mayabati was in her teen age he discovered a problem. At that time the age of mayabati is a prime number,let that age is a. After some years her age becomes b. then Arya Bhatta was able to solve that problem wit the help of he daughter mayabati. If a-b=5 & product of a& b is 26 then what is the sum of two squares?

• here we have to use the identity (a-b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab
  25 = a^2 + b^2 - 52
  therefore, the answer is 77.

• the question's language of using aryabhatta and his daughter is just to create confusion..main question is in the last line..
  we have been given that a-b=5, and ab=26, a^2+b^2=?.
  so just apply the formula (a-b)^2= a^2+b^2-2ab
  => a^2+b^2=77.

• sum of two squares means?
  
  a^2 + b^2 or these means u r asking about (a-b)^2 and axb^2?
  we r not getting the question
