Maths Puzzle
x % of x^2 % of x^3 % of an unknown integer = perfect square integer.
unknown integer will be
(x is any integer)
Options 1) 5
2) 9
3) 12
4) 19
5) 25
6) 32
7) 49
8) 2 options are possible
9) 3 options are possible
10) none of these
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- 9) 3 options are possible
(x/100)*(x^2/100)*(x^3/100)*y should be a perfect square...
so (x^6/10^6)*y should be a perfect square...
give x is any integer so, lets consider x=10
now y should be a perfect square...
here in given options 9,25,36 are perfect squares...
hence 3 options are possible.... - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(2)
- 10) none of these
Infinite numbers are possible.
If x=1, and unknown number is y , then
1 % of 1^2 % of 1^3 % of y = perfect square integer
y = ( perfect square integer)*10^3
Put any perfect square integer and get new value of y.
so infinite values.

Infinite possible integers.
x % of x^2 % of x^3 % of an unknown integer = perfect square integer
(x^6)*(10^(-6)) of unknown number = perfect square integer
Hence unknown number can be 10^6,10^8,10^10 and so on..........
If unknown number is 10^6 , RHS is x^6 which is perfect square of x^3
If unknown number is 10^8 , RHS is 100*x^6 which is perfect square of 10*x^3

- if u take unknown integer to be "y" ,
at the end.....
perfect square interger = y((x/10)^3)^2 ,,
that means y also hs to be a number which is square of sm number , in options it s "25" n "49" n "9" ,,
bt again , here to make whole number a square of sm integer , (x/10) should be integer , which we are nt sure of !
so ans : 10) none of these !! - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- Let the unknown integer is y
Then the equation is y*((x/10)^3)^2=perfect square.
The solution must satisfy for all x, an integer.
for x=1 and y=5 RHS is not perfect square.
Hence option 1 is not a solution.
for y=9,12,19,25,32,49 and x=1 again RHS is not perf square.
Hence all of the 7 options are wrong and hence
ans is option 10 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
