      Find the value of (A2 - 7A).
      A 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 56 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ; A + A2 = 72 Or, A2 + A - 72 = 0 Or, A2 + 9A - 8A - 72 = 0 Or, (A + 9)(A - 8) = 0 So, A = 8 or A = -9 Since, 'A' is positive. So, required value = 82 - 8 Γ— 7 = 64 - 56 = 8
