X(Got param veer charka in 1948) he died when his age was one thirty ninth of his year of birth.whats his year of birth.

approach:
since the yaer is divided by 39 , it should also be divided by 3 and 13......given tht he got award in 1948 .so he must have been born before tht ..........so from 1900 try all the years which are divisible by 3 and 13 ...... ANS :1911. 4.) There are x trees in woods. Y is no. of birds. Gate keeper tells on each tree no of birds is equal to total no. of trees in woods.tell the number of trees. Given total number of birds is between 2000 and 2100.

approach:
x- the no of trees so the total no of birds is square of x. Between 2000 to 2100 there is only one no which is a square no (because every century has only one year whic is a square number) ie between 1900 to 2000 the year is 1936 (44*44) similarly between 2000 to 2100 the year is 2025 (45*45) between 2100 to 2200 the year is 2116 (46*46) so ANS 2025 5.)
