Solution Given the sum of the squares of two odd numbers is 11570, and the square of the smaller number is 5329, we can find the square of the other number as follows: Step 1: Find the Square of the Other Number The sum of the squares is given by: \[ 11570 = 5329 + x^2 \] where \(x^2\) is the squareRead more
Solution
Given the sum of the squares of two odd numbers is 11570, and the square of the smaller number is 5329, we can find the square of the other number as follows:
Step 1: Find the Square of the Other Number
The sum of the squares is given by:
\[
11570 = 5329 + x^2
\]
where \(x^2\) is the square of the other number. Solving for \(x^2\):
\[
x^2 = 11570 – 5329 = 6241
\]
Step 2: Determine the Other Number
To find the value of \(x\), we take the square root of 6241:
\[
x = \sqrt{6241} = 79
\]
Therefore, the other number is 79.
The correct answer is (d) 79.

Given the sum of three consecutive integers is 5685, we express this as: \[ n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 5685 \] Simplifying, we get: \[ 3n + 3 = 5685 \] \[ 3n = 5682 \] \[ n = \frac{5682}{3} = 1894 \] However, the value of \(n\) calculated here represents the smallest of the three consecutive numbers, nRead more
Given the sum of three consecutive integers is 5685, we express this as:
\[
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 5685
\]
Simplifying, we get:
\[
3n + 3 = 5685
\]
\[
3n = 5682
\]
\[
n = \frac{5682}{3} = 1894
\]
However, the value of \(n\) calculated here represents the smallest of the three consecutive numbers, not the middle one. This correction leads to the correct identification of the series as follows:
Therefore, the correct set of numbers is \(1894, 1895, 1896\), which does not match any of the options provided explicitly as listed. Given the specific numbers and the correction in understanding that \(n\) represents the starting (smallest) number in the sequence, the correct response should accurately reflect this set.
Thus, the corrected and accurate answer is (e) None of these, as the exact sequence derived from the calculation does not appear in the options provided.
