- C. 124, 132
- D. 136, 144
- Correct Answer
- 136, 144
ExplanationLet the number be x and (x + 8)

Correct Answer: 3700
Explanation:
Let the numbers be a and b.
Then, a + b = 100 and a - b = 37
? a2 - b2 = (a+b) (a-b)
= 100 x 37
= 3700
Correct Answer: 240
Explanation:
Let the number be 3N and 4N.
Then, 3N + 4N = 420
? 7N = 420
? N = 60
? Greater number = 4 x 60 = 240
Correct Answer: 17, 18
Explanation:
Let the two number be x and (x + 1)
Then, (x+1)2 - x2 = 35
? 2x = 34
? x = 17
So, the number are 17 and 18
Correct Answer: 400
Explanation:
Let the required number be N.
So 3/4 x 1/5 x N = 60
? 3N / 20 = 60
? N = 400
Correct Answer: 125/3
Explanation:
Let the number be N.
So from question 2N/5 + 25 = N
? 2N + 125 = 5N
? 3N = 125
? N = 125/3
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Let the number be a and b
Then, (a-b) = (a2 - b2) / a+b
= 145/29
= 5
Correct Answer: 27
Explanation:
Let the number be a and b.
Then, (a + b) = (a2 -b2) / (a-b)
= 135/5
= 27
Correct Answer: 2/3
Explanation:
Let the required fraction be x/y
Then, x/(y + 1) = 1/2
? 2x - y = 1 ...(1)
(x + 1) / y = 1
? x - y = -1 ...(2)
Solving Eq. (1) and (2)
We get x = 2, y = 3
? The fraction is 2/3
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
Let the number be x,
Then, 4x/5 - 2x/3 = 8
? (12x - 10x) / 15 = 8
? 2x = 120
? x = 60
Correct Answer: 360
Explanation:
Let the number be N .
Then, 1/4 of 1/3 of 1/2 of N = 15
? 1/4 x 1/3 x 1/2 x N = 15
? N/24 = 15
? N = 24 x 15 = 360 .
