• 175-94=81=9^2
  188-124=64=8^2
  372-323=49=7^2
  1292-1256=36=6^2
  Ans=1256.

• ans is op c. 50
  let the age be x. so
  (x-10)*(125/100) = (x-10)*(250/300) [solve 83 1/3% = 250/300]
  x= 50.

• Let the age before 10 years = x
  
  Then 125x/100 = x + 10
  
  =>125x = 100x + 1000
  
  => x = 1000/25 = 40
  
  
  
  Present age = x + 10 = 40 +10 = 50

• 94*2=188
  124*3=372
  323*4=1292
  similarly
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(5)
• Let present age be x
  x = 125% of (x-10)
  x = 83 1/3 % of (x+10)
  => x = 50

• 175-9^2=94*2=188
  188-8^2=124*3=372
  372-7^2=323*4=1292
  1292-6^2=1256*5=6280

• 1.) 175-94=81 (9^2) follow this pattern now
  94*2=188
  2.) 188-124=64 (8^2)
  124*3=372
  3.) 372-323=49 (7^2)
  323*4=1292
  4.) here.. wat must be substracted frm 1292 to get the next number in the series. look at the pattern
  1292- 36 (6^2)=1256
  1256 is the next number

• 1292 and 6280 will be the next two terms
  because 175-81=94
  then 94*2=188
  again 188-64=124
  then 124*3=372
  again 372-49=323
  then 323*3=1292

• let present age=x
  10yrs ago age is 125% of (x-10)
  after 10yrs age is 83 1/3(250/3%) of (x+10)
  125/100(x-10)=250/300(x+10)
  5/4[(x-10)]=/6[(x+10)]
  6x-60=4x+40
  2x=100
  x=50

  ...
  
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• ans is 50
  125% (x-10)=83 1/3% (x+10)
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• (125/100)*(x-10)=((250/3)/100)*(x+10)
  
  250/3 means=83 1/3
  
  x=50
