While solving a problem, by mistake, Anita squared a number and then subtracted 25 from it rather than first subtracting 25 from the number and then squaring it. But she got the right answer. What was the given number ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Let the given number be x
According to the question,
x2 - 25 = (x - 25)2
x2 - 25 = x2 + (25)2 - 50x
x = 13
According to the question,
x2 - 25 = (x - 25)2
x2 - 25 = x2 + (25)2 - 50x
x = 13
