Question 1351.


There is a square of side “a” which has a circle inscribed in it. This circle has another square inscribed in it. Another circle is inscribed in this square. A third square is inscribed in this circle and a third circle is inscribed in this square. Find the ratio of the areas of the outermost square and the innermost circle


  1.     a:2
  2.     a:4
  3.     a2: π
  4.     a: π
  5.     π

Answer: Option C. -> a2: π
:
C

If a=4, the square-circle-square….. ratio will be 4:π:2:π2: 1:π4


Answer is 4:(π2)= 16:π


Question 1352.


(m+1)2 = 24n+ 2m +2. m is less than 100 and n is any whole number. Find the number of possible values of m ?

Answer: Option D. -> none of these
:
D

Option (d)


m2 -1 =24n. This means that when m2 is divided by 24 it leaves a remainder -1.


m is of the form (6p+1)2 or (6p-1)2.. This is equal 12p(3p+/-1)+1..


We can see that the term 12p(3p+/-1) Is always divisible by 24..,Therefore we have to find the possible values of (6p+1) and ( 6p-1) less than 100.


Answer is 33..


Question 1353.


The receipts on railway travel vary as the excess of speed of the train over 30 kmph. The expenses vary as the square of that excess. What is the speed at which the profits will be greatest if at 60 kmph is the expenses are just covered?


  1.     40
  2.     35
  3.     45
  4.     None of these
  5.     π
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 45
:
C

Option(c)
Let the excess of speed over 30
kmph=S


Receipts= R and Expenses=E


Then


R=K1 S


And E= K2S2


Also, at 60kmph, R=E


Thus, K1=30 K2


We need to maximize R-E= K1S- K2S2


=SK2(30-S)


S+30-S, the sum is constant, the product will be maximum when they are equal


Thus S=30-S S=15. Speed = 30+15= 45


Question 1354.


There is a number which is formed from 6 natural numbered tiles arranged in a row. The value of the first tile (leftmost) is 1. If this tile is moved from the leftmost place to the rightmost place, then the number obtained is three times of the original number. Then the sum of the digits of this special number is? 


  1.     21
  2.     20
  3.     19
  4.     27
  5.     π

Answer: Option D. -> 27
:
D

Option(d)


3 * (1ABCDE)  = ABCDE1 


The only possibility for the last digit for the number is 7, which when multiplied by 3 gives 1 with a carry over 2


Proceeding this way,the number can be determined as


E = 7, D = 5, C = 8, B = 2, A = 4. The sum of the digits = 27


Question 1355.


Let x1,x2,x3,...,xn be a sequence of integers such that:
i) -1  xi  2 for i = 1, 2 ..., n
ii) x1+x2+x3+...+xn = 19
iii) x21+x22+x23+...+x2n = 99
Determine the minimum and maximum possible values of x31+x32+x33+...+x3n


  1.     20,99
  2.     19,133
  3.     0,391
  4.     4, 99
  5.     π
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 19,133
:
B

Option (b)


Let a, b and c denote the number of -1s, 1s and 2s in the sequence respectively. So,


-a + b + 2c = 19 and a + b + 4c = 99 (neglecting the zeroes)


So, a = 40 – c and b = 59 – 3c where 0 < c < 19 (as b > 0)


So, x31+x32+x33+...+x3n = -a + b + 8c = 19 + 6c


When c = 0 (a = 40, b = 59), the minimum value is 19; when c = 19 (a = 21, b =2), maximum value is 133.


Question 1356.


Triangle ABC is a right angled triangle at B. A point O is lying on the side BC. A semicircle with centre O is inscribed inside the triangle such that it touches AC at D. Find the area of quadrilateral ABOD if length AB = 30 units and   BCA = 30.


  1.     519.6
  2.     432
  3.     449
  4.     259.8
  5.     459
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 519.6
:
A

Triangle ABC Is A Right Angled Triangle At B. A Point O Is L...


BCA = 30


BAC = 60


ODC = 90 (radius is perpendicular to the tangent)


COD = 60


BOD = 120


Now the sides OB = OD (Radii of same circle)


AB = AD (tangents from the same external point)


so, triangle ABO is congruent to triangle ADO


BOA = DOA = 60


Now AB = 30, so OB = 303, so area ( AOB) = area (AOD) = 12 * 30 * 30 3 = 150 3


So area (ABOD) = 300 3 = 519.6.


 


Question 1357.


Four distinct numbers are selected from first 100 natural numbers. How many numbers are there which are divisible by both 3 and 5? 


  1.     6
  2.     7
  3.     4
  4.     None of these
  5.     none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> None of these
:
D

Option(d)
A number divisible by both 3 as well as 5 has to be divisible by 15. In the first 100 natural numbers, there are 6 such numbers-> 15, 30, 45, 60, 75,
90


Favourable number of ways = 6C4


 


Question 1358.


The remainder obtained when 100*(9910) is divided by (100*99) + 1 is 


  1.     0
  2.     1
  3.     100
  4.     9900
  5.     none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 9900
:
D

Option (d)


Go from unitary method, try for smaller numbers. Consider 10x910 = (10.9)99


(10x9)+1


Consider the remainder when 9991. go by frequency method.


 


9191R=9


9191R=-10


9391R= -90/91|R=+1


Therefore 9991R=1


Remainder will be only the first part of the numerator=10x9, in the case we have considered = 90


And in the question = 100x99= 9900


Question 1359.


Digit sum of a number is defined as the sum of the digit till a single digit number is obtained.N = 2! +3! +4! + 5! +……………….10 !. Find the digit sum of N ?


  1.     0
  2.     9
  3.     1
  4.     5
  5.     none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0
:
A

Option (a)


Digit sum is nothing but the remainder obtained when the number is divided by 9. Thus from 6! To 10! the number is completely divisible by 9. Hence, digit sum is 0 1!+2!+3!+4!+5! = 1+2+6+24+120 = 153, which is completely divisible by 9.
Hence, digit sum is 0


Question 1360.


How many 4 digit numbers can be written as difference of squares in at least one way ?___


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0
:

Option (d)


All numbers of the form 4k+2 cannot be expressed as difference of squares.


Thus, those 4 digit numbers which can be expressed as difference of squares in atleast one way= number of four digit numbers - 4 digit numbers of the form 4k+2


= 9000 -2250= 6750.
