Determine two consecutive multiples of 3 whose product is 270.
Answered Feb 05, 2023
Let the consecutive multiples of 3 be a, a + 3
⇒ a(a + 3) = 270
⇒ a2 + 3a – 270 = 0
⇒ a2 + 18a – 15a – 270 = 0
⇒ a(a + 18) -15(a + 18) = 0
⇒ (a – 15)(a + 18) = 0
⇒ a = 15
Numbers are 15, 18
Correct option is C) 4
Correct option is (D) 8 or -9 Let consecutive numbers are x and x+1. \(\therefore\) x(x+1) = 72 (Given) \(\Rightarrow\) \(x^2+x-72=0\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(x^2+9x-8x-72=0\) \(\Rightarrow\) x(x+9) - 8(x+9) = 0 \(\Rightarrow\) (x-8) (x+9) = 0 \(\Rightarrow\) x - 8 = 0 or x+9...
Correct option is A) 112
Correct option is C) 10.5
Let the consecutive even integers be ‘a’ and a + 2 ⇒ a2 + (a + 2)2 = 340 ⇒ 2a2 + 4a – 336 = 0 ⇒ a2 + 2a – 168...
Let, multiple of 4 lies between 10 and 250 12, 16, 20, 24,…248 We know, an = a + (n – 1)d First term, a = 12 Common difference, d = 16 – 12...
The first 15 multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32,……. This is an AP in which a = 8, d = (16 - 8) = 8 and n = 15. Thus,...
Solution: As the 7th term exceeds the 5th term by 12, so the 5th term will exceed the 3rd term by 12 as well So, n3 = 16 n5 = 28 n7 = 40 n4 or n6 can be...
