Let the no. of marks obtained in Maths = x & no. of marks obtained in Science = 28-x It is given that (x+3)(28-x-4) = 180 (x+3)(24-x)=180 24x-x2+72-3x=180 x2-21x+108 = 0 x2-12x-9x+108=0 x(x-12)-9(x-12)=0 (x-9)(x-12)=0 therefore answer is x =9 or 12 For x = 9 Marks obtained in Maths = 9 Marks...

m+s=28 (m+3x)(s-4)=180 Forming the quadratic equation in s and solving we get s=16(->m=12) or s=19(->m=9).

If m and n are odd positive integers, then m2 + n2 is even, but not divisible by 4. Justify.
Since m is odd positive integer then we can write m=2a+1 and n=2b+1, such that a,b >0 m2+n2=(2a+1)^2+(2b+1)^2 = 4a^2+1+4a+4b^2+1+4b = 4a^2+4b^2+4a+4b+2 = 2(2a^2+2b^2+2a+2b+1) Above eqn is divisible by 2 but not divisible by 4.
