Verify mobile number to view the solution
∴ Highest number = 24 + 6 = 30
The product of two consecutive even numbers is 5328. What is the smaller number?
Let the smaller number be x
x (x + 2) = 5358
⇒ x² + 2x – 5328 = 0
⇒ (x + 74) (x – 42) = 0
∴ x = 72
The product of two consecutive odd numbers is 1763. What is the larger number?
From the given alternatives,
1763 = 43 × 41
The sum of a set of five consecutive even numbers is 140. What is the sum of the next set of five consecutive even numbers?
According to the question,
x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 140
⇒ 5x + 20 = 140
⇒ 5x = 120
∴ x = = 24
∴ x + 8 = 24 + 8 = 32
The next set of five consecutive even number will start with = 34
∴ Required sum
= 34 + 36 + 38 + 40 + 42 = 190

The sum of three consecutive integers is 39. Which of the following is the largest among the three?
Let the three consecutive integers be
x, x + 1 and x + 2
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 39
⇒ 3x + 3 = 39
⇒ 3x = 39 – 3 = 36
⇒ x = = 12
∴ Required largest number
= x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
The product of two consecutive even numbers is 4488. Which is the smaller number?
x × (x + 2) = 4488
⇒ x² + 2x – 4488 = 0
⇒ (x + 68) (x – 66) = 0
∴ x = 66
The product of two successive numbers is 8556. What is the smaller number?
Let the number be x and (x + 1).
∴ x(x + 1) = 8556
⇒ x² + x – 8556 = 0
⇒ x² + 93x – 92 x – 8556 = 0
⇒ (x² + 93) (x – 92) = 0
∴ x = 92
