Given 

Geometric mean = 8 

Harmonic mean = 6.4 

Formula used 

Geometric mean = √ab 

Harmonic mean = 2ab/(a + b) 

Calculation 

Let the two number be x and y 

√xy = 8 

⇒ xy = 64      ---(i)

We also know, 2xy/(x + y) = 6.4 

⇒ x + y = 20        ---(ii) 

From (i) and (ii)

⇒ 64/y + y = 20 

⇒ y2 - 20y + 64 = 0 

⇒ y = 4, -16 

So, x = 16 and y = 4 

∴ The required answer is 4, 16
