Correct Answer: 63


Solution : Given: The sum of the two numbers is 16 and their difference is 2.
The bigger number = $\frac{\text{Sum + Difference}}{2}$ = $\frac{16 + 2}{2}$ = 9
The smaller number = 16 – 9 = 7
Therefore, the product of the two numbers = 9 × 7 = 63
Hence, the correct answer is 63.
