  • Options
  • A. 1690
  • B. 999
  • C. 538
  • D. Cannot be determined

  • Correct Answer
  • 999 

    Explanation

    Let the number of bangles be x. Then, x - 38 is a perfect square and x + 25 is a perfect square.
    Now, using the option, we find that x = 999
    999 - 38 = 961 is a perfect square.
    999 + 25 = 1024 is a perfect square
