Question Detail

Sum of two numbers is 25 and their difference is 13. Find their product.

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}

1. Three times the first of three consecutive odd integers is 3 more than twice the third. The third integer is

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the three integers be x, x+2 and x+4.
Then, 3x = 2(x+4)+3,
x= 11
Therefore, third integer x+4 = 15

2. Find the number which when multiplied by 15 is increased by 196

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the number be x.
Then, 15x = x + 196
=› 14 x= 196
=› x = 14.

3. Sum of two numbers is 25 and their difference is 13. Find their product.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

4. Two numbers differ by 5. If their product is 336, then sum of two number is

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Friends you remember,
\begin{aligned}
=> (x+y)^2 = (x-y)^2 + 4xy
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> (x+y)^2 = (5)^2 + 4(336)
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> (x+y) = \sqrt{1369} = 37
\end{aligned}

5. if the sum of \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} and \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{5} \end{aligned} of a number exceeds \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{3} \end{aligned} of the number by \begin{aligned} 7\frac {1}{3} \end{aligned}, then number is

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Seems a bit complicated, isnt'it, but trust me if we think on this question with a cool mind then it is quite simple...
Let the number is x,
then, \begin{aligned} (\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{5}x) - \frac{1}{3}x = \frac{22}{3} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{11x}{30} = \frac{22}{3}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> x = 20
\end{aligned}
