Option 1: 50
Option 2: 55
Option 3: 60
Option 4: 65

Question : The difference between two numbers is 9 and the difference between their squares is 207. The numbers are:
Option 1: 17 and 8
Option 2: 16 and 7
Option 3: 15 and 6
Option 4: 15 and 7
Correct Answer: 16 and 7
Solution : Given: The difference between the two numbers is 9. The difference between their squares is 207. Let the numbers be $x$ and $y$. Difference between the numbers $(x-y)=9$ ----------------------(1) Difference between their squares $(x^{2}-y^{2})=207$ $⇒(x-y)(x+y)=207$ ---------------------------(2) Substituting the value of $(x-y)$ in equation
Question : Directions: In this question, the statement is followed by two conclusions. Which of the two conclusion(s) is/are true? Statement: Z > F ≥ A = B = G > S < E Conclusions: I. Z < A II. G < F

Option 2: Only conclusion II is true
Option 3: Both conclusions I and II are true
Option 4: Neither conclusion I nor II is true
Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II is true
Solution : Given: Statement: Z > F ≥ A = B = G > S < E
Let's check the conclusions – Conclusion (I): Z < A→This conclusion is false as Z > F ≥ A ⇒ Z > A Conclusion
