Download Solution PDFGiven:
m is a perfect square less than 50
n is a perfect cube greater than 50 but less than 100
The difference between m² and n² is 1695
Another number, o, is a perfect square smaller than m and more than 20, but the difference between m and o is more than the difference between m and n
p is a two-digit perfect square less than o
Formula used:
Perfect square: m = x²
Perfect cube: n = y³
Difference between squares: a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)
Calculations:
Let m be a perfect square less than 50, so m can be 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, or 49.
Let n be a perfect cube greater than 50 but less than 100. The perfect cubes between 50 and 100 are 64 and 125. So, n = 64.
We are given that the difference between m² and n² is 1695:
m² - n² = 1695
Using the difference of squares formula:
(m - n)(m + n) = 1695
Substitute n = 64:
(m - 64)(m + 64) = 1695
Let’s try different values for m (perfect squares less than 50) and see which one satisfies this equation.
For m = 49:
(49 - 64)(49 + 64) = (-15)(113) = -1695
This satisfies the equation. So, m = 49 and n = 64.
Next, we need to find the value of o, which is a perfect square smaller than m and more than 20. o must be a perfect square between 20 and 49. The possible values for o are 25 and 36. Since the difference between m and o is more than the difference between m and n, we choose o = 25 because the difference between m and 25 is 24, while the difference between m and n is 15.
Finally, p is a two-digit perfect square less than o. The perfect squares less than 25 are 1, 4, 9, 16. The largest two-digit perfect square less than 25 is 16, so p = 16.
Now, let’s compute the quantities:
Quantity I: m + n + 2p = 49 + 64 + 2 × 16 = 49 + 64 + 32 = 145
Quantity II: m + 2n + o = 49 + 2 × 64 + 25 = 49 + 128 + 25 = 202
Conclusion:
Quantity I = 145
Quantity II = 202
The relation between the magnitudes of Quantity I and Quantity II is that Quantity II is greater than Quantity I.
