If one third of one fourth of number is 15, then three tenth of number is

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the numbers be a, b and c.
Then,
\begin{aligned}
a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 138
\end{aligned}
and (ab + bc + ca) = 131
\begin{aligned}
(a + b + c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
\end{aligned}
= 138 + 2 x 131 = 400

\begin{aligned}
=> (a + b + c) = \sqrt{400} = 20.
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

If the number is x,

Then, x + 17 = 60/x

x2 + 17x - 60 = 0

(x + 20)(x - 3) = 0

x = 3, -20, so x = 3 (as 3 is positive)

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Friends, this sort of question is quite important in competitive exams, whenever any question come which have relation between sum, product and difference, this formula do the magic:
\begin{aligned}
=> (x+y)^2 = (x-y)^2 + 4xy
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
<=> (25)^2 = (13)^2 + 4xy
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
<=> 4xy = (25)^2 - (13)^2
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
<=> xy = \frac{456}{4} = 114
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the number is x,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{3} of\frac{1}{4} * x = 15
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> x = 15\times 12 = 180
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> so \frac{3}{10} \times x = \frac{3}{10} \times 180 = 54
\end{aligned}
