Correct answer: B
Solution: Use the ratio and the given difference to find the numbers and their product.
Represent the two positive numbers as 10k and 6k according to the ratio 10:6.
Their difference is 10k − 6k = 4k, which is given as 20. So 4k = 20 ⇒ k = 5.
The numbers are 10k = 50 and 6k = 30.
Product = 50 × 30 = 1500.
Therefore, the product of the two numbers is 1500.
