Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
- D3
Correct answer
A. 0
Step-by-step solution
Let x and x+2 be two consecutive positive even integers. Given, x^2+(x+2)^2=290 x^2+x^2+4 x+4-290=0 array ll & 2 x^2+4 x-286=0 & x^2+2 x-143=0 array x=-13,11 [ -13 not postive integer and x=13 , is not even positive integer] Hence, number of solutions =0
