Q:

The difference of squares of two numbers is 180. The square of the smaller number is 8 times the larger number. Find two numbers.

A) 10 & 12 B) 10 & 18
C) 12 & -18 D) -12 & 18
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) -12 & 18

Explanation:

Given, difference of the squares of two numbers is 180.

k2 - l2 - 180

 

Also, square of the smaller number is 8 times the larger.

= l= 8k

 

Thus, k2 - 8a - 180 = 0

k2 – 18k + 10k - 180 = 0

→  k(k - 18) + 10(k – 18) = 0

= (k + 10)(k – 18) = 0

→  k = -10, 18

 

Thus, the other number is

324 - 180 = l2 

 

→ Numbers are 12, 18 or -12, 18.
