  • 3 answers

Gaurav Seth 6 years, 9 months ago

let the no. be  x and x+1
  then we have x²+(x+1)²=365
                     2x²+2x-364=0
                     x²+x-182=0
                     x²+14x-13x-182=0
                     (x+14)(x-13)=0
      That gives x=13 Avoiding negative value
      Hence, one number is 13 and other one 14.

Let two consecutive positive integer be x and x + 1.
According to question
x2 + (x + 1)2 = 365
⇒  x2 + x2 + 2x + 1 = 365
⇒  2x2 + 2x - 364 = 0
⇒   x2 + x - 182 = 0
Let us split middle term
x2 + 14x - 13x - 182 = 0
⇒   (x + 14) (x - 13) = 0
x = -14 or x = 13 [ - ve root being rejected ]
Hence required numbers are 13 and 14
