Let the breadth be x, then length =x+2 (according to the question). Also, area of rectangle=length * breadth i.e, 195= x(x+2) x2+2x-195 = 0 x2+15x-13x-195 = 0 (x+15)(x-13) = 0 i.e, x=13 [x cannot be negative value, so x! = -15) Hence, breadth is 13 cm while length is 13+2 =15 cm.

Short method: The difference between side1 and side 2 is Two and area is 195 so we can do multiplication of side 1 and side 2 up to getting area 195 base area of rectangle = side1×side2 (formula). Such as 10×12=120 (not answer) 11 x 13 =141(not answer) 13×15 =195 (answer) Side1 = 13 side2=15.

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.
