a lady grows cabbage in her garden that is in the shape of a square . each cabbage takes 1 square foot of area in her garden . this year , she has increased her output by 127 cabbages when compared to last year . the shape of the area used for growing the cabbage has remained a square in both these years . how many cabbages did she produce this year ?
"explanatory answer the shape of the area used for growing cabbage has remained a square in both the years . let the side of the square area used for growing cabbage this year be x ft . therefore , the area of the ground used for cultivation this year = x 2 sq . ft . let the side of the square area used for growing cabbage last year be y ft . therefore , the area of the ground used for cultivation last year = y 2 sq . ft . as the number of cabbage grown has increased by 127 , the area would have increased by 127 sq ft because each cabbage takes 1 sq ft space . hence , x 2 - y 2 = 127 ( x + y ) ( x - y ) = 127 . 127 is a prime number and hence it will have only two factors . i . e . , 127 and 1 . therefore , 127 can be expressed as product of 2 numbers in only way = 127 * 1 i . e . , ( x + y ) ( x - y ) = 127 * 1 so , ( x + y ) should be 127 and ( x - y ) should be 1 . solving the two equations we get x = 64 and y = 63 . therefore , number of cabbage produced this year = x 2 = 642 = 4096 . alternative approach : use answer choices the area in both the years are squares of two numbers . that rules out choice b , c and d . as 4098,5000 and 5096 are not the square of any number . check choice a : if this year ' s produce is 4096 , last year ' s produce would have been 4096 - 127 = 3969 3969 is the square of 63 . so , 4096 is the answer . choice a"
