- Question
The sum of the squares of two numbers is 3341 and the diference of their squares is 891. The numbers are :
Options- A. 35 and 46
- B. 35 and 50
- C. 40 and 55
- D. 45 and 60
- Correct Answer
- 35 and 46
ExplanationLet the numbers be x and y. Then,
x^2+y^2=3341......(1)
x^2-y^2=891......(2)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get : 2x^2=4232 or x^2= 2116 or x =46
Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get : 2y^2= 2450 or y^2 = 1225 or y = 35
So, the numbers are 35 and 46

Correct Answer: 14
Explanation:
Let the number be x. Then, 15x - x = 196 <=> 14x = 196 => x = 14..
Correct Answer: 34
Explanation:
Let the two parts be (54 - x) and x.
Then, 10 (54 - x) + 22x = 780
=> 12x = 240
=> x = 20.
Bigger part = (54 - x) = 34.
Correct Answer: 13
Explanation:
(385/1001) = 5/13
First Number is 5
=> Fourth number is 13
Correct Answer: 3/5
Explanation:
Let the required fraction be x/y. Then, x+1 / y+1 = 2 / 3 => 3x – 2y = - 1 …(i) and x – 1 / y – 1 = 1 / 2 2x – y = 1 …(ii) Solving (i) and (ii), x = 3 , y = 5 therefore, Required fraction= 3/5
Correct Answer: 47.5
Correct Answer: 23
Explanation:
Let the greater and smaller number be p and q respectively.
4q = p + 5 ------ (I)
p = 3q+2 ------- (II)
From equation (I) and (II)
q = 7
p = 23
Correct Answer: 47619
Explanation:
By hit and trail, we find that
47619 x 7 = 333333.
7) 333333 (47619

Correct Answer: 11 and 33
Explanation:
Let the smaller number be 'm'
Then, from the given data, the larger number is '3m'
Given that m + 3m = 44
=> 4m = 44
m = 44/4 = 11
=> m = 11
=> 3m = 3 x 11 = 33
Hence, the two numbers are 11 and 33.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Multiplying two negatives (or any even multiple) results in a positive. But multiplying three negatives (or any odd multiple) gives a negative. If the result of multiplying 6 negatives is odd, the largest number of negative integers will be the largest odd number (i.e.5)
