Ram’s age was square of a number last year and it will be cube of a number next year. How long must he wait before his age is again the cube of a number?

1. 39 years
2. 10 years
3. 38 years
4. 64 years

Correct Option: C

Let us assume at present Ram’s age is 26 years
Last year his age = 26 – 1 = 25 = (5)²
Next year his age = 26 + 1 = 27 = (3)³
After 27, the next cube number is 64 = (4)³
∴ Required answer = 64 – 26 = 38 years
