When you open the book you see two adjacent pages. Let the smaller of the two page numbers be x.
Then x*(x+1) = 600. This solves to x = 24 and the other page is 25.
They are pages 42 and 43 because the product of both numbers is 1806

52 and 53
166 & 167
The page numbers would be 166 and 167.
The page numbers would be 183 and 184.
42 and 43 because 42*43 = 1806
168 and 169
The answer is 74 and 75
Let the page numbers be x and x+1. The product of two consecutive numbers is x(x+1). Given that the product is 4160, we have the equation x(x+1) = 4160. By solving this quadratic equation, we find that the page numbers are 64 and 65.
The book is opened to pages 26, on the left, and 27, on the right. The product of 26 times 27 is 702.
if we call the first page A and the second page B we know that B = A+1 And if we multiply A by A+1 we get A2 + A. So, we want to find the square root of A... and the only clue we have is that it is close to 272 The square root of 272 = 16.4924. The number of the right hand page of a book is always the odd one. So we can try 16 and 17, and we see instantly that 16 x 17 = 272.
