The numbers x, y, z are such that xy = 96050 and xz = 95625 and y is greater than z by one. Find out the number z?
Correct Answer: 225
Explanation:
xy = 96050 ...(i)
and xz = 95625 ...(ii)
and y - z = 1 ... (iii) Dividing (i) by (ii) we get
y/z = 96050 / 95625
= 3842 / 3825
= 226 / 225 ... (iv) Combining (iii) and (iv) we get z = 225.
