According to first condition sum of squares is 138;
According to 2nd condition, sum of products of two numbers taken at a time is equal to 131, so;
To solve this we take sum of numbers and then take square of their algebraic sum!
Put values from eq (1) and (2) in eq (3);
Taking square root on both sides;
rounding off
so, Their sum is 20
