Question 107
The product of two successive numbers is 4032. Which is the greater of the two numbers ?
Solution
Let the two successive numbers = $$x , (x + 1)$$
Product = $$x \times (x + 1) = 4032$$
=> $$x^2 + x - 4032 = 0$$
=> $$x^2 + 64x - 63x - 4032 = 0$$
=> $$(x - 63) (x + 64) = 0$$
=> $$x = 63$$
$$\therefore$$ Larger number = $$x + 1 = 63 + 1 = 64$$
