Question

The product of two succesive multiples of 5 is 300 what are values of these multiples

Answer 1

Answer:

147.5 & 152.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be 5x and 5x+5.

A.T.Q.

5x + 5x + 5 = 300

10x + 5 = 300

10x = 295

x = 29.5

Values = 147.5 and 152.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Assume the consecutive integral multiple of 5 be 5n and 5(n + 1) where n is a positive integer.

now according to the question

5n x 5(n + 1) = 300

n2 + n – 12 = 0

(n – 3) (n + 4) = 0

n = 3 and n = – 4.

As n is a positive integer so n =3.

Hence the required numbers are 15 and 20.
