Question 72

Let x be the least number which when divided by 15, 18, 20 and 27, the remainder in each case is 10 and x is a multiple of 31. What least number should be added to x to makeit a perfect square?

Solution

LCM of 15, 18, 20 and 27 = 540
Number = $$\frac{540k + 10}{31}$$
= $$\frac{527k + 13k + 10}{31}$$
Value of k = 4
So, number = 540 $$\times $$ 4 + 10 = 2160 + 10 = 2170
Square of 47 = 2209
Number added to make it perfect square = 2209 - 2170 = 39
