If the smaller number is x, then the larger number has to be 20 - x in order for the arithmetic mean to be 10, as their sum must be 20.
If the geometric mean is 8 the product of the numbers has to be 64 and so the larger number is 64/x
Solving 64/x = 20 - x gives the quadratic x^2 -20x +64 = 0 so x = 4 or 16.
The two numbers are 4 and 16.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Base on my own understanding what should be done is that three stacks will not work, because it wont be a symmetric arrangement and also one will be left out. So, two stacks of five each would be better and easy to carry. But the stacks should be arranged in such a manner that the lengths will be parallel to each other and not in-line which would increase the length making it comparatively very long. its easier to hold a (2*8.5,11,2*5=17,11,17) compact box, because it will be easy to carry a long and not heavy.
No because 5/2= 2,5 however 63/19=3,66...
1,3,5
4 looks like true but decreasing but 2 dollars also gives max revenue, so I not sure about it
