Given, difference of the squares of two numbers is 180.
= k2 - l2 - 180
Also, square of the smaller number is 8 times the larger.
= l2 = 8k
Thus, k2 - 8a - 180 = 0
k2 ? 18k + 10k - 180 = 0
? k(k - 18) + 10(k ? 18) = 0
= (k + 10)(k ? 18) = 0
? k = -10, 18
Thus, the other number is
324 - 180 = l2
? Numbers are 12, 18 or -12, 18.
Double Difference pattern is followed in the above series. +2, +5, + 10, +17, +26
