      Question

      The sum of a positive number 'A' and its square is 156.

      Find the value of (A2 - 7A).
      A 66 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ; A + A2 = 156 Or, A2 + A - 156 = 0 Or, A2 + 13A - 12A - 156 = 0 Or, (A + 13)(A - 12) = 0 So, A = 12 or A = -13 Since, 'A' is positive. So, required value = 122 - 12 Γ— 7 = 144 - 84 = 60
