Read Solution (Total 11)
-
- x years in x^2 year, 20th century
x=44 that year is 1936
so his yr of birth is 1936-44 = 1892 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(34) No(4)
- between 2000 & 2100,
45^2=2025 is only a perfect square year(44^2=1936,46^2=2116)
so grandfather's age is 45 years in 2025
so year of birth=2025-45=1980 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(27) No(39)
- 20th century means between 1900 to 2000
44^2=1936 is only perfect square in that period
so yr of birth of grand father=1936-44=1892 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(14) No(1)
- He is x years old in x^2 years
Find the square root of 2000 that is 44.72
Then,
44 years in 1936, which is 44^2
Grandfather was born 1936 - 44 = 1892 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- very simple
20th century means 1900 to 2000
grandfather is x yrs old in x^2 yrs
it means the number has to be perfect square b/w 1900 to 2000
which is 44 yrs i.e. in year 1936.
so birth is 1936-44 = 1892 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- x years old in x^2 years, 20th century
so his age is 45 in the year of 45^2 = 2025
so his yr of birth is 2025-45 = 1980 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- 45^2=2025 ,,so,,45 is the answer
bcoz 44^2 and 46^2 is not in the range of 2000 and 2100 (20th century)..!! - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- 44
44^2=1936. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 20th century means 1900 to 2000...so 44^2=1936 and 1936-44=1892
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- can any tell me y we hav to take 44 there????
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- @TEJA: bcoz after 2000 21st century starts.....
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
