A man engaged a servant on the condition that he would pay him Rs.900 and a uniform after one year service. He served only for 9 months and received uniform and Rs.650, find the price of the uniform?
The numbers less than 696 and are squares of certain numbers are 676, 625.The least number that should be subtracted from 696 to make it perfect square = 696 - 676 = 20.
Since the difference between the divisors and the respective remainders is not constant, back substitution is the convenient method. None of the given numbers is satisfying the condition.
