Select the correct option:
A) 600, 400
B) 628, 372
C) 640, 360
D) None of these
E) Cannot be determined
Let the numbers be x and y.   Then, x^2 - y^2 = 256000 and x + y = 1000.   On dividing we get : x - y = 256.   ‹=›Solving x + y = 1000 and x - y = 256,   ‹=›we get : x = 628 and y = 372.   Answer 628, 372
