Question

Read the data carefully and answer the following question:

Given the sequence:

20,a,b,c,d,6520, a, b, c, d, 65

The terms satisfy the following relations:

  • a20=X2+Ya - 20 = X^2 + Y
  • ba=(X+1)2+Y(b>a)b - a = (X + 1)^2 + Y \\ (b > a)
  • cb=(X+2)2+Y(c>b)c - b = (X + 2)^2 + Y \\ (c > b)
  • dc=(X+3)2+Y(d>c)d - c = (X + 3)^2 + Y \\ (d > c)

Where:

  • XX
    is the HCF of two prime numbers
    MM
    and
    NN
  • YY
    is the smallest root of the quadratic equation
    z2z6=0z^2 - z - 6 = 0
