    Ans. LCM of 21, 36 and 66 = 2772
    Now, 2772 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11
    To make it a perfect square, it must be multiplied by 77 [for (7 x 11)].

    Correct Option: A

    7777 - N must be a perfect square.

    Correct Option: C

    7777 - N must be a perfect square.
    Now, using the option, we find that N = 33
    7777 - 33 = 7744 is perfect square.



  1. In a bangel shop, the shopkeeper displays the bangels in the form of a square, then he is left with 38 bangles with him. If he wants to increse the size of square by one unit each side of the square, he found that 25 bangles fall short of in completing the square. The actual number of bangles which he had with him in the shop was ?

    Let the number of bangles be x. Then, x - 38 is a perfect square and x + 25 is a perfect square.

    Correct Option: B

    Let the number of bangles be x. Then, x - 38 is a perfect square and x + 25 is a perfect square.
    Now, using the option, we find that x = 999
    999 - 38 = 961 is a perfect square.
    999 + 25 = 1024 is a perfect square

    Let the number be x and y.
    Now, according to the question,
    x(x + y) = 2418 .....(i)
    and y(x + y) = 3666 .....(ii)

    Correct Option: A

    Let the number be x and y.
    Now, according to the question,
    x(x + y) = 2418 .....(i)
    and y(x + y) = 3666 .....(ii)
    On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
    x2 + xy + yx + y2 = 6084
    ⇒ x2 + 2xy + y2 = 6084
    ⇒ (x + y)2 = 6084
    ∴ x + y = √6084 = 78
    On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get
    x2 + xy - yx - y2 = -1248
    ⇒ x2 - y2 = -1248
    ⇒ (x + y) (x - y) = -1248
    ⇒ 78(x - y) = -1248
    ⇒ x - y = - 1248 / 78 = -16
    ⇒ (y - x) = 16



  1. One-fourth of a herd of camels was seen in the forest. Twice the square root of the herd had gone to mountains and the remaining 15 camels were seen on the bank of a river. Find the total number of camels.

    Let the total number of camels be x.
    Then, acording to the question,
    x/4 + 2√x + 15 = x

    Correct Option: D

    Let the total number of camels be x.
    Then, acording to the question,
    x/4 + 2√x + 15 = x
    ⇒ x - x/4 - 2 √x = 15
    ⇒ 3x - 8√x - 60 = 0
    ⇒ √x = [8 ± √64 + 720] / 6
    = (8 ± 28) / 6
    ∴ x = 36
