Directions for Q. 1 to Q. 5: Refer the data:J, K, L, M and N collected stamps. They collected a total of 100 stamps. None of them collected less than 10.No two among them collected the same number.(i) 3 collected the same number as K and M together.(ii) L collected 3 more than the cube of an integer(iii) The no. Collected by J was the square of an integer.(iv) Total no. Collected by K was either the square or cube of an integer.1. The no. Collected by J was:(1) 27 (2) 49 (3) 36 (4) 642.

• according to question
  j should be square of integer
  so ans can be only either 36 or 49
  49 can not be answer as K+M=J+L+N
  means J+L+N=50
  and if J=49 then L+N=1
  so only option is 36

• 36.........

• i THINK THERE IS NO SOLUTION OR CAN SAY L=11 BCCOZ K+M=j+L+N
  IE J+L+N=50
  AND L=p^3+3
  IE L=2^3+3=11....
  FINAL ANS J=5^2=25 OR 4^2=16

• j=27 as j+L+N = 50 and J,L,N >10
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
• I think the answer should be 49
  cz it is given in the question itself that no collected by j was was the square of integer,,,and we know that 49 is the square of 7

• VIJAY: 36 also a squar of 6
  @sougata : j=27??? read the condition iii
