48. Manoj starts from point A and drives X km towards the south and then turns left and drives Y km. He then takes a right turn and drives for 4 km to reach point D. If Manoj drove a total of 17 km between Points A and D, and both X and Y are perfect squares where X > Y, then what is the value of X?

Correct Answer: (b) 9
Solution:


X + Y + 4 = 17 (where X and Y are perfect square so the value will be 4 and 9)It is given that X > Y so the value of X is 9.
