Math Riddle 4:

The product of 2 numbers is 1575 and their quotient is 9/7. Then the sum of the numbers is?

Answer:

Let's assume the numbers to be x and y.

We know xy = 1575

And x/y = 9/7

We know xy/x/y = 1575/9/7

We know y2 = 1225

We know y = 35 and x = 45

We know The sum of the numbers = 45+35

= 80

Math Riddle 5:

The sum of the squares of two natural consecutive odd numbers is 394. The sum of the numbers is?

Answer:

Let's assume the consecutive odd numbers to be x and (x+2)

We know that x2 + (x + 2)2 = 394

We know x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 = 394

We know 2 x2 +4x – 390 = 0

We know x2 + 2x – 195 = 0

We know (x +15) (x-13) = 0

We know x = 13

We know Required sum = 13 +15 =28
