sum \(= 35\) & product \(= 300\)
Let's take both the nos as \(x\) & \(y\)
\(x + y = 35\) & \(xy = 300\)
BY solving these, we will get
\(x = 15\) & \(y = 20\)
Answer \(20\)

a+b=35
ab=300 so it should be a multiple of 10 or 5*2
Hence just put in combination fast 30*5=150, 25*10=250, 20*15=300
Hence 20
