@A Former Brilliant Member – Hey dude about your problem let's go back in time is it NcR or NpR
Maybe problem me mai 'closest to 126' ke jagah 'least value' bhi rakh sakta tha right ???
happy belated b'day.man!!...waise mujhe 14th August ko wish karna mat bhoolna..
DONE bhai !!!
@Vaibhav Prasad – chal phir.....yad rakhna bhai..
I think you meant to let x = n − 1 2 4 .
Yep! Thanks for corrections. I have edited the solution
Nice Solution!!
Since the said equation is a perfect square
by binomial expansion
Then we can simply equate that
Best solution
Awesome solution!!
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 a b - i
2 1 2 4 = ( 2 6 2 ) 2
2 1 2 6 = ( 2 ) ( 2 6 2 ) ( 2 2 n )
2 n = ( 2 2 n ) 2 - i i
Hence by comparing i i by i , we get n = 1 2 6

2 1 2 4 + 2 1 2 6 + 2 n
= 2 1 2 4 ( 1 + 4 + 2 x ). (Let n-124 be x)
We can see that 2 1 2 4 is a square number. So 1 + 4 + 2 x should also be square number.
So the least value of 2 x = 4
Hence x=2 and x=n-124 Therefore n=126
