Hello folks, could you help me with this question? Is there a better way to solve this rather putting all the values and check the answer?

A moltiplication reach is greater value when the numbers moltiplicated are similar, so you can assume that m and p are the same number; then the maximum value of their square must be 49 because 50 + 50 is too much (< 100 means no more than 99). at this point just look at the answers given.

Hello folks, could you help me with this question? Is there a better way to solve this rather putting all the values and check the answer?
This question is discussed in detail here: if-m-and-p-are-positive-integers-and-m-2-p-2-100-what-is-the-242849.html

Here is my solution from there:

There is a property saying that for given sum of two numbers, their product is maximized when they are equal.

Thus mp will be maximzed if given that \(m^2 + p^2 < 100\) when m=p. In this case we’d have:

\(2m^2 < 100\)
\(m^2 < 50\)
And since given that m is a positive integer then m = 7.

mp = 7*7 = 49.

Answer: D.­
