 According to the question,
 [N x (3/2)] - [N / (3/2)] =10Correct Option: BLet the number be N 
 According to the question,
 [N x (3/2)] - [N / (3/2)] =10
 ⇒ 3N/2 - 2N/3 = 10
 ⇒ (9N - 4N)/6 = 10
 ⇒ 5N / 6 = 10
 ∴ N = (10 x 6)/5 =12

 According to the question 5N = 2N2 - 3Correct Option: ALet the number be N 
 According to the question 5N = 2N2 - 3
 ⇒ 2N2 - 5N -3 = 0
 ⇒ (N - 3) (2N + 1) = 0
 N = 3 & -1/2
 Thus the required number is 3
-  If a =16 and b= 5, the value of (a2+ b2+ ab) / (a3 - b3) is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Given Exp. = (a2+ b2+ ab) / (a3-b3) 
 = 1 / (a - b)Correct Option: AGiven Exp. = (a2+ b2+ ab) / (a3-b3) 
 = 1 / (a - b)
 = 1 / (16 - 5)
 = 1/11.
-  The sum of five consecutive odd number is equal to 175. What is the sum of the second large number and the square of the smallest number among them together?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Sum of the five consecutive odd number = N + (N + 2) + (N + 4) + (N + 6) + (N + 8) =175 Correct Option: DSum of the five consecutive odd number = N + (N + 2) + (N + 4) + (N + 6) + (N + 8) =175 
 ⇒ 5N + 20 =175
 ⇒ N = (175 - 20) / 5 = 31
 Sum of the second largest and square of smallest one = (31 + 6) + (31)2
 = 37 + 961=998
