19. x ∈ {2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and y ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and most pairs (x, y) with x > y satisfy the
condition x2 + y 2 < 50 but (6, 4) and (6, 5) do not satisfy the condition since
62 + 42 = 52 > 50 and 62 + 52 = 61 > 50 so number of pairs is

225 − 50x + 625 = 400
√
∴ x = 9cm and y = 225 − 92 = 12cm
Now we have perimeter = 15 + 20 + 20 + 25 − x + 25 − y = 105 − (x + y)
∴ perimeter = 105 − (9 + 12) = 105 − 21 = 84cm . . . B

n-dimensional hyperspheres, i=1 ki i=1 ki and so with n = 3 and
k1 = r , k2 = k3 = k4 = 2 and k5 = 0 we have that ( r + 3 × 21 )2 = 3( r12 + 3( 21 )2 )
