This question is my doubt from copy cat 03-
A box contains 300 matches , Rahul and Sachin take turns removing no more than half the matches in the box. The player who cannot move looses. What should be Rahul's first move to ensure his win if he is starting the game?
Series can be written as
(1-2/3) + (2/3-2/5) + (2/5-2/7) + (2/7-2/9) + (2/9-2/11)
= 1-2/11
= 9/11 option (4)
a , ar , ar2 , ar3 , ar4 , …..
a + ar = 15
a ( 1 +r) = 15
a = 15/ ( 1+ r) …. (1)
Now ,
3(ar + ar2 + ar3 + ar4 +….) = a
3 [ar / (1-r)] = a
1 - r = 3r
r = ¼
from (1)
a = 12
Sum of the series : a , ar , ar2 , ar3 , ar4 , …..
a / ( 1 –r) = 12 ( 1-1/3) = 16
Hi sir, please help
Consider the sequence of numbers - 1,22,333,4444,..... where each natural number 'n' repeats 'n'times. The 2015th number in the sequence will be?
If the question asks about 2015th number, then it will simply be 201520152015..... ( 2015 written 2015 times )
Let D(N) denote the difference of sum of all even digits of N from sum of all odd digits of N. For example D(5678) = (5 + 7) – (6 + 8) = -2 and D(786) = (7) – (6 + 8) = -7.
Evaluate D(1) + D(2) + D(3) + …..+ D(9999).
0
4000
10000
20000
0000 , 0001 , 0002 , 0003 , ........, 9999
Number of digits used : 4 x 10000 = 40000
Each digit used : 40000/10 = 4000times
D(1) + D(2) + D(3) + …..+ D(9999)= ( Sum of all odd digits used ) - (Sum of all even digits used )
= ( 1+ 3 + 5 + 7 + 9) x 4000 - ( 0 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8) x 4000 = 4000 x 5 = 20000.
Option (D)
solution for 7,8,10
Alternative Approach for 7th Question :
Put x = 2 and check whether u is 8.
Put x = 4 and check whether u is 4.
Put x = 16 and check whether u is 2 or not .
Only x = 4 satisfies the equation .
solution for questions 13,24,25,26 please.
there is a print error in question 25 option 1st should be (2,-1/2)
now for solution; from given equation
logx=ab logy-------------------(1)
logy=b log z--------------------(2)
logz= a logx
substituting value of log z in 2nd
logy= ab logx-------------------(3)
from 1 and 2
a2b2=1
now check options only E doesn't follow this condition
Total yearly investment of Jatinder = (20000*4)+(16000*5)+(10000*3)=190000. For this investment, he is getting 19000 profit. Hence, for Ravinder to get Rs 19200 profit, his total investment should be 192000 for the year. Therefore, his initial investment should be 192000/12=16000.
FInd the odd term
13, 21, 34, 64, 89, 144
13 , 21 , (13 + 21) , ( 21 + 34) , ( 34 + 55) , ( 55 + 89) ... and so on .
Hence , 64.
Q41
If a, b, c are roots of x³ - 7x² - 6x + 5 = 0, find the value of (a + b)(b + c)(c + a).
a+b+c=7 .................(1)
ab+bc+ca= -6 .................(2)
abc= -5
(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)= (ab+ac+b^2 +bc)(c+a)
putting values from 1 and 2
(b² -6)(7-b)
7b²-b³ +6b-42
-(b³ -7b² -6b +42).................(3)
since b is a root of given polynomial therefore b satisfies given equation
b³ - 7b² - 6b+ 5 = 0
b³ - 7b² - 6b= -5
put in (3)
= -(-5+42)
= -37 (answer)
