Let the number be N.
Then, (N/5) + 5 = (N/4) - 5Correct Option: C
Let the number be N.
Then, (N/5) + 5 = (N/4) - 5
⇒ (N/4) - (N/5) = 10
⇒ (5N - 4N)/20 = 10
∴ N = 200

Let the number be a and b .
Then, (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
= 289 + 2 x 120
= 289 + 240
= 529
∴ a+b = √529 = 23Correct Option: B
Let the number be a and b .
Then, (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
= 289 + 2 x 120
= 289 + 240
= 529
∴ a+b = √529 = 23

Let the number be a and b.
Then, a2 + b2 = 80
and (a-b)2= 36
Correct Option: A
Let the number be a and b.
Then, a2 + b2 = 80
and (a - b)2= 36
⇒ a2 + b2 - 2ab = 36
⇒ 2ab = (a2 + b2)-36
= 80 - 36= 44
∴ Product = ab = 22

Let the other number be x.
Then, 10 + x = 2(x - 10)Correct Option: B
Let the other number be x.
Then, 10 + x = 2(x - 10)
⇒ x = 30

Let the number be N,
Then 4N/5 = 64
⇒ N = 64 x 5/4 = 80Correct Option: B
Let the number be N,
Then 4N/5 = 64
⇒ N = 64 x 5/4 = 80
∴ Half of the number = 80/2 = 40
