Aptitude Day 54


Problems on Numbers:

1. Two numbers such that the square of one is 171 less than seven times the square of the other. If the numbers are in the ratio of 2:3, the numbers are:

Solution:
                 Let the numbers be 2x and 3x.
                 7(2x2)-(3x)2 = 171
                 28x2-9x2 = 171
                 19x2 = 171
                     x2=9
                     x=3.
                 The numbers are 6 and 9.

2. The difference of 2 positive integers multiplied by the bigger number is 85 and their sum multiplied by the smaller number is 99. Find the sum of their squares.

Solution:

                Let the bigger number be x and the smaller number be y.
                (x-y)x = 85    [Condition 1]
                 x2-xy = 85   ------- Equation 1
                (x+y)y = 99   [Condition 2]
                 xy+y2=99    ------- Equation 2
                By adding equation 1 and 2, we get
                   x2+y2=184.
