The product of two consecutive even numbers is 12768. What is the greater number ? (a) 110 (b) 108 (c) 114 (d) 112 (e) None of these

(b) A + A + 2 + A + 4 + A + 6 = 180 4A + 12 = 180 A = 42. Next four consecutive even numbers are 50 + 52 +...

(a) Out of the given alternatives, 137 × 139 = 19043 Required smaller number = 137

(b) Quicker Approach: The unit's digit of the number 16128 is 8, From the given answer choices, 126 × 128 = 16128 Required larger number = 128

 (a) According to the question,  x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 140  or, 5x + 20 = 140  or, 5x =...

(d) Let the smaller number be x  x (x + 2) = 5358  x2 + 2x – 5328 = 0 (x + 74) (x – 42) = 0  x = 72 

(b) Let the numbers be x and (x + 2)  Then, x × (x + 2) = 582168  x 2 + 2x – 582168 = 0  x2 + 764x – 762x – 582168 =...

(d) Lowest number of set A = 280/5 – 4 = 52  Lowest number of other set = 52 × 2 – 71 = 33   Required sum = 33 + 34...

(d) Let the two numbers be x and (x + 2).  Then, x2 + (x + 2)2 = 6500  x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 = 6500  2x2 + 4x – 6496...

(c) 112 ÷ 7 ÷ 4 = 8 × ? 8 x ?= 112/7x4 ?=4/8=1/2=0.5

The correct option is (C) 110.
