- 21st century..so find the perfect squares
X = 45
X2 = 2025
Birth year = 2025-45 = 1980

- Given grandfather age is X in X^2 years.(Mentioned in 21st century)
We have to find perfect square for X that should in 21st century (i.e. after 2000)
Hence X=45 is the perfect square for 21st century & the year is X^2=2025.
To find the birth year of grand father = 2025-45=1980

- if father was talking about the 21st century
that means square of the number is represent the year
we find the perfect square
x=45
x^2=2025
so birth year=2025-45=1980 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- pls explain the answer

- Can anyone tell me why we take x=45 as perfect squre number??
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- X=45^2=45*45=2025=X^2
so, X=45
X2=2025
DOB=2025-45=1980 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- a/q, x^2 (year)=x(age)
a/q father was talking about 21st century
so the year is 2000
so x^2=2000 => x= 20 root 5
so year was 2000-20=1980
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
