Number System
A gardener wants to plant trees in his garden in such a way that the number of trees in each row should be the same. If there are 4 rows or 5 rows or 6 rows, then no tree will be left. Find the least
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
Let the father's age be x and son's age yTherefore, x + y = 60 ....................(i)Five years back, (x - 5) = 4 (y - 5)x - 4y = - 15 ......................(2)Solving (1) and (2), x = 45 and y = 15
