Question

P q r are successive even natural numbers in ascending order five times r is eight more than seven times p.Find q

Answer 1

Answer:

q=8

Step-by-step explanation:

let p=2n

q=2n+2

r=2n+4

5r=7p+8

5(2n+4)=7(2n)+8

10n+20=14n+8

4n=12

n=3

thus we get ,

p=2n

=2*3

=6

q=2n+2

=2*3+2

=6+2

=8

r=2n+4

=2*3+4

=6+4

=10
