Find the value of (4°+49) x 22
Answers
Answer:
I don't know
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Given numbers:
25, 49, x, 169, 289
To determine x, we note that
5² = 25
7² = 49
11² = 121
13² = 169
17² = 289
(1) There are five numbers in the row and 5 is an odd number. x is the only unknown and it is in the middle, being the third number.
(2) These numbers can be expressed as squares of integers as shown above
(3)The difference between 7 and 5 is 2. But the difference between 17 and 13 is 4. And x is in the middle.
Therefore, the next number after 7 will be 11 and square of 11 is 121.
∴ x = 121
and the completed series is:
25, 49, 121, 169, 289 .
121 is the correct answer if you consider the following :
49–25 = 24
121–49 = 72
169–121 = 48
289–169 = 120
We see that the differences are all multiples of 24. If we take 81 instead of 121, the resulting difference 32 (= 81–49) is not a multiple of 24. Also 169–81=88 is not a multiple of 24. So only 121 fits in the pattern.
