Let the root of the quadratic equation be $a$ and $b$

According to the given condition,

$A. M.=\frac{a+b}{2}=8 \Rightarrow a+b=16$        ........$(1)$

$G.M.$ $=\sqrt{a b}=5 \Rightarrow a b=25$          .........$(2)$

The quadratic equation is given by,

$x^{2}-x(\text { Sumof roots })+(\text { Product of roots })=0$

$x^{2}-x(a+b)+(a b)=0$

$x^{2}-16 x+25=0$         [ Using $(1)$ and $(2)$ ]

Thus, the required quadratic equation is $x^{2}-16 x+25=0$
