C. 6

D. 5

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the numbers be x and y
According to question,
$$\eqalign{ & \left( {x > y} \right) \cr & {x^2} - {y^2} = 45 \cr & \left( {x + y} \right)\left( {x - y} \right) = 45 \cr & {\text{Make factor of 45}} \cr & {\text{15}} \times 3 \cr & \,\,9 \times 5\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(3\,{\text{pairs}}) \cr & 45 \times 1 \cr} $$
These pairs gives the value of x and y which satisfy the given condition.
