The difference of squares of two numbers is 180. The square of the smaller number is 8 times the larger number. Find the two numbers
उत्तर
Let the larger and smaller number be x and y respectively.
According to the question,
x2 - y2 = 180 and y2 = 8x
⇒ x2 - 8x = 180
⇒ x2 - 8x - 180 = 0
⇒ x2- 18x + 10x - 180 = 0
⇒ x(x - 18) +10(x - 18) = 0
⇒ (x - 18)(x + 10) = 0
⇒ x = 18, -10
However, the larger number cannot be negative as 8 times of the larger number will be negative and hence, the square of the smaller number will be negative which is not possible.
Therefore, the larger number will be 18 only.
x = 18
∴ y2 = 8x = 8 × 18 = 144
⇒ y = `±sqrt144 = ±12`
∴ Smaller number = ±12
Therefore, the numbers are 18 and 12 or 18 and - 12.

Activity: Let the first even natural number be x
Therefore its consecutive even natural number will be = (______)
By the given condition,
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 244
x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 – (______) = 0
2x2 + 4x – 240 = 0
x2 + 2x – 120 = 0
x2 + (______) – (______) – 120 = 0
x(x + 12) – (______) (x + 12) = 0
(x + 12)(x – 10) = 0
x = (______)/x = 10
But natural number cannot be negative, x = – 12 is not possible.
Therefore first even natural number is x = 10.
Second even consecutive natural number = x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12.
