The numbers less than 696 and are squares of certain numbers are 676, 625.The least number that should be subtracted from 696 to make it perfect square = 696 - 676 = 20.
Let the first number be x and the second number be y.∴ y² = 82 - 15 = 64 - 15 = 49∴ y = 7∴ x² + 73 = 568= x² + 343 = 568= x² + 568 - 343 = 225∴ x = √225 = 15∴ 15 x 3/5 = 9
Let Radha's present age = x years.∴ x = 2 (x = 12) - 3= x = 2x - 24 - 3= x = 27∴ Raja's present age = 4/9 x 27= 12 years ∴ Raja's age after 5 years = 12 + 5 = 17 years
