Answer : 4. "253"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 253 Explanation: The first person shakes hands with 22 different people, the second person also shakes hands with 22 different people, but one of those handshakes was counted in the 22 for the first person, so the second person actually shakes hands with 21 new people. The third person, 20 people, and so on... So, 22 + 21 + 20 + 19 + 18 + 17 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1= n(n+1)/2 = 22 x 23 /2 = 11 x 23 = 253.

Answer : 1. "63 and 49"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 63 and 49 Explanation: Since their HCFs are 7, numbers are divisible by 7 and are of the form 7x and 7y Difference = 14 => 7x - 7y = 14=> x - y = 2 product of numbers = product of their hcf and lcm=> 7x * 7y = 441 * 7=> x * y = 63 Now, we havex * y = 63 , x - y = 2=> x = 9 , y = 7 The numbers are 7x and 7y=> 63 and 49
