Answer 2

Solution : Here , we need to find the positive number. Let us assume that the positive number is x. According to the question,twenty one times of a positive number is less than its square by 100.

This means :

21x + 100 = x^2

> x^2 -21x - 100 = 0

> x^2 - 25x + 4x - 100 = 0

> x(x - 25) + 4(X - 25) = 0

> (x+4)(x-25) = 0

The value of x is 25 only. ( As x is positive ) .
