A Belgian Maths teacher threatened to reveal something to a noisy class, if

70. Q18
The X family was a prosperous family of traders and scholars from the free
city of Basel in Switzerland, which at that time was the great commercial
hub of central Europe. The brothers, Jacob and Johann X, however, flouted
their father's wishes for them to take over the family spice business or to
enter respectable professions like medicine or the ministry.
After Johann graduated from Basel University, the two developed a rather
jealous and competitive relationship. Johann in particular was jealous of the
elder Jacob's position as professor of mathematics at Basel University, and
the two often attempted to outdo each other. You might have heard of X
during your JEE preparation, in at least two different contexts.
