Verify mobile number to view the solution
Let the two numbers be x and (x + 2).
Then, x² + (x + 2)² = 6500
⇒ x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 6500
⇒ 2x² + 4x – 6496 = 0
⇒ x² + 2x – 3248 = 0
⇒ x² + 58x – 56x – 3248 = 0
⇒ (x + 58) (x – 56) = 0
⇒ x = 56
The product of two consecutive even numbers is 582168. Which is the smaller number?
Let the numbers be x and (x + 2)
Then, x × (x + 2) = 582168
⇒ x² + 2x – 582168 = 0
⇒ x² + 764x – 762x – 582168 = 0
⇒ (x + 764) (x – 762) = 0
⇒ x = 762
A, B, C, D and E are five consecutive odd numbers The sum of A and C is 146. What is the value of E?
A + C = 146
⇒ A + A + 4 = 146
⇒ A =
∴ E = A + 8 = 71 + 8 = 79
The cost of 3 chairs and 10 tables is Rs 9856. What is the cost of 6 chairs and 20 tables?
Let the cost of one chair be Rs x and that of a table be = Rs y
According to the question,
3x + 10y = Rs 9856
⇒ 2 × (3x + 10y) = 2 × 9856
∴ 6x + 20y = Rs 19712
