Number System
A basket contains 5 blue, 4 green and 3 red ball. If three balls are picked at random, what is the probability that at least one is red ?
Let the two consecutive odd numbers be 2x - 1 and 2x + 1.(2x - 1) (2x - 1) = 4095= 4x² - 1 = 4095= 4x² = 4096= x² = 1024∴ x = 32∴ The numbers are 63 and 65.Greater number = 65
