The product of the two numbers that are each half of 185 will be the maximum
.. 185/2 and 185/2

Two numbers that we can chose here are half of 185 each.

As they will give us maximum product.

So the two numbers would be 185/2 and 185/2

[tex] Product = \frac{185}{2} * \frac{185}{2} [/tex]

On multiplying we will get,

34225/4

Answer : The two numbers are 185/2 and 185/2.
