  1. If the number p is 5 more than q and the sum of the squares of p and q is 55, then the product of p and q is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    p = q + 5
    ⇒  p – q = 5
    p2 + q2 = 55
    ∴  (p – q)2 + 2pq = 55
    ⇒  25 + 2 pq = 55
    ⇒  2 pq = 30
    ⇒  pq = 15

    Correct Option: C

    p = q + 5
    ⇒  p – q = 5
    p2 + q2 = 55
    ∴  (p – q)2 + 2pq = 55
    ⇒  25 + 2 pq = 55
    ⇒  2 pq = 30
    ⇒  pq = 15

    Since the numbers between –
    10 and 10 will be single digit and the numbers below 100 will be either one digit or two digit. We know that the square root of one or two digit number is always single digit number. Therefore, required answer is option (3).

    Let the two numbers be A and B.
    Then, A + B = 22
    and A2 + B2 = 404
    We know that
    (A + B)2 = A2 + B2 + 2AB
    or  (22)2 = 404 + 2AB
    or  484 = 404 + 2 AB
    or  2AB = 80
    or  AB = 40
    ∴  The product of the two numbers = 40

    Correct Option: A

    Let the two numbers be A and B.
    Then, A + B = 22
    and A2 + B2 = 404
    We know that
    (A + B)2 = A2 + B2 + 2AB
    or  (22)2 = 404 + 2AB
    or  484 = 404 + 2 AB
    or  2AB = 80
    or  AB = 40
    ∴  The product of the two numbers = 40

    Let the number be x
    According to the question

    3
    of x2 = 126.15
    5

    ⇒  x2 =
    126.15 × 5
    3

    ⇒  x2 = 210.25
    ∴  x = √210.25 = 14.5

    Correct Option: C

    Let the number be x
    According to the question

    3
    of x2 = 126.15
