If you subtract the square of a number from 4052 and then multiply the result by 15, you get 41340. What is that number?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 36.

Let number = n

(4052 – n2) × 15 = 41340

⇒ 4052 – n2 = 41340/15 = 2756

⇒ n2 = 4052 – 2756 = 1296

⇒ n = √1296 = 36
