    According to the question,
    = 682 – 322 = (68 + 32) (68 – 32)
    = 100 × 36
    = 3600 = (60)2

    Correct Option: C

    According to the question,
    = 682 – 322 = (68 + 32) (68 – 32)
    = 100 × 36
    = 3600 = (60)2

  1. There are some boys and girls in a room. The square of the number of the girls is less than the square of the number of boys by 28. If there were two more girls, the number of boys would have been the same as that of the girls. The total number of the boys and girls in the room are

    Let the number of boys and girls in the room be x and y respectively.
    According to the question,
    x2 = y2 + 28
    ⇒  x2 − y2 = 28       ..........(i)
    and   x = y + 2
    ⇒  x – y = 2       ..........(ii)
    On dividing equation (i) by equation (ii), we have

    x2 − y2
    =
    28
    x − y2

    ⇒ 
    (x + y) (x − y)
    = 14
    x − y

    ⇒  x + y = 14
    ∴  Total number of boys and girls = 14

    Correct Option: B

    Let the number of boys and girls in the room be x and y respectively.
    According to the question,
    x2 = y2 + 28
    ⇒  x2 − y2 = 28       ..........(i)
    and   x = y + 2
    ⇒  x – y = 2       ..........(ii)
    On dividing equation (i) by equation (ii), we have

    x2 − y2
    =
    28
    x − y2

    ⇒ 
    (x + y) (x − y)
    = 14
    x − y

    ⇒  x + y = 14
    ∴  Total number of boys and girls = 14
