S.P. per metre = 8200/40 = Rs. 205∴ C.P. per metre = Rs. (205 - 25) = Rs. 180∴ C.P. of 40 metre cloth= Rs. (40 x 180) = Rs. 7200∴ Gain = Rs. (8200 - 7200) = Rs. 1000
Let the four numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6.=> x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 36=> 4x + 12 = 36 => x = 6The numbers are 6, 8, 10 and 12.Sum of their squares = 62 + 82 + 102 + 122 = 36 + 64 + 100 + 144 = 344.
