Q2

 

$${\frac{{\mathtt{9}}{!}}{\left({\mathtt{2}}{!}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{3}}{!}\right)}} = {\mathtt{30\,240}}$$      permutations.

Q5

 

 

 

KING      Big square photo of himself and Smaller square on of wife      Totally = 1865cm^2

QUEEN     Big square phot of herself and tiny square on of husband       Totally = 1865cm^2

The lengths of all the photos is an exact number of cm.

 

$$x^2+y^2=1865$$

 

We  can solve this with just a little sensible trial and error.

$${\sqrt{{\mathtt{1\,865}}}} = {\mathtt{43.185\: \!645\: \!763\: \!378\: \!368\: \!2}}$$

So for the  2 that are a long way apart one is are going to be just a little smaller than this number and the other will be little.

Try 43

$${\sqrt{{\mathtt{1\,865}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{{\mathtt{43}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}}} = {\mathtt{4}}$$                                 ok so the first 2 queens ones are    4cm and 43cm

 

 

Now lets think about the 2 that are close together.  

think about     

 

$${\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{x}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {\mathtt{1\,865}} \Rightarrow \left\{ \begin{array}{l}{\mathtt{x}} = {\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\frac{{\sqrt{{\mathtt{1\,865}}}}}{{\sqrt{{\mathtt{2}}}}}}\\
{\mathtt{x}} = {\frac{{\sqrt{{\mathtt{1\,865}}}}}{{\sqrt{{\mathtt{2}}}}}}\\
\end{array} \right\} \Rightarrow \left\{ \begin{array}{l}{\mathtt{x}} = -{\mathtt{30.536\: \!862\: \!969\: \!204\: \!940\: \!9}}\\
{\mathtt{x}} = {\mathtt{30.536\: \!862\: \!969\: \!204\: \!940\: \!9}}\\
\end{array} \right\}$$

 

okay so the two close together will be near 30

Try 30

$${\sqrt{{\mathtt{1\,865}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{{\mathtt{30}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}}} = {\mathtt{31.064\: \!449\: \!134\: \!018\: \!134\: \!1}}$$

Try 29

$${\sqrt{{\mathtt{1\,865}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{{\mathtt{29}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}}} = {\mathtt{32}}$$

Bingo, the Kings ones are   29cm and 32 cm

 

The King's pictures were    32cm x 32cm       and      29cm x 29cm

and

The queen's were              43cm x 43cm       and      4 cm x 4cm
