2.1; x! × y! = z! is also true for x = y = z = 0.
3.2; No. is 1234.... 1415
Sum of digits at odd places = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 40
Sum of digits at even places = 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 26
For the no. to be divisible by 11, diff of sum of digits should be multiple of 11.
As our last digit of no. is at odd place, so if we reduce the digit at odd place by 3, our purpose is
fulfilled.
4. 4; Let us consider all the cases one by one.

n(2 3 5) = n(2) + n(3) + n(5) - n(2 3) - n(2 5) n(3 5) n(2 3 5)
= 50 + 33 + 20 - (16 + 10 + 6) + 3 = 74
Required no. of numbers = 100 - 74 = 26
6. 3; From A: 225 and 441 are probable values of N2
N = 15 or 21. Hence a = 1 or 2 and b = 1 or 5
From B: M2 = 144 & M = 12 a = 2, b = 1, c = 4
From C: N = 12, 24, 48 B alone is sufficient.
7. 4; Here a + b = 31 (a, b) = (16, 15), (14, 17), (13, 18), (12, 19), (11, 20), (10, 21)
We have to consider only for two-digit numbers
Now a2 + b2 is divisible by 5
(a, b) = (14, 17), (19, 12)
Both are correct pairs as 17 = 10 + 7 (a prime no.) & 12 = 10 + 2 (a prime no.)

7x = 10n + 7 = ..... (1) and 8x = 11m + 7 = (2)
7 10 n 7
Hence 77m - 7 = 80 n .... (3)
8 11m 7
Now we have to find m such that 77 m - 7 is divisible by 80 units digit of 77m - 7 is 0
units digit of m = 1.
So take m = 1, 11, 21, 31 and so on.
For m = 51, n = 49 from (3).

From (1), x = = 71 seconds

Also, from (2), x = = 71 seconds They meet after 71 seconds.

88m + 56 = 100n + 70
10 11m 7
88m - 14 = 100n 44m - 7 = 50n
units digit of 44m – 7 should be 0
units digit of 44m should be 7, which in not possible they will never meet.

22. 1; We must know that OD, OE and OF are perpendicular lines drawn from O to sides AB, BC and AC
respectively.
Where D, E and F are points of contact. Now as
A = 90°,

FOD = 90°, so area FOD = (20 ) 360 100 m 2

FOD is the smallest area because FOD is the smallest of the three angles FOD , FOE and
DOE .
Also note that for higher triangular angle, the opposite angle at centre is smaller. As A is
highest among A, B, C, FOD is the lowest.

11. 1; g(x) = f(f(x)) = f(2 + x), if x 0
f(2 - x) if x < 0
Now, f(2 + x) = 2 + (2 + x) if 2 + x 0 and x 0
2 - (2 + x) if 2 + x < 0 and x 0
4 + x if x -2 and x 0
-x if x < -2 and x 0 (not possible)

2 - (2 - x) if 2 - x < 0 and x < 0
4 - x if 2 x and x < 0
x if x > 2 and x < 0 (not possible)

ii) Mohan has maximum no. of cows he has 3 cows
he has 3 cows, 2 horses, 1 goat.
iii) Rakesh has maximum no. of goats he has 3 goats
he has 1 cow, 2 horses, 3 goats
iv) From (i), (ii) and (iii) we conclude that Suresh has 2 cows, 2 horses, 2 goats.
Suppose the grazing rate for one cow = 4x, one horse = 3x, and one goat = x
Then [3 × 4x + 2 × 3x + 1 × x] × 5 = 950
or, 95x = 950 x = 10

17. 1; When the number is divided by 85, let the quotient be k.
Therefore, Number = 85k + 39 = (17 × 5k + 17 × 2 + 5) = 17 (5k + 2) + 5.

24-25: On the fifth point half more than half of the number of students get down and no student is left
one student was in the bus who get down at fifth point. Similarly, on the fourth point two
students got down, one is left Before fourth point there were 3 students in the bus. Proceed-
ing in similar way, we find that before 3rd point there were 7 students, before 2nd point there
were 15 students and before first point (in the school) there were 31 students.
We can deduce a formula for such problems.
If after nth dropping (in the similar ways as given) no student is left in the bus, the bus started
with ( (2n 1) students. In this case n = 5, so (25 1) = 32 - 1 = 31
24. 3; (25 1) = 32 - 1 = 31

The bus left the school with 127 students.
After 1st dropping, 63 students remain in the bus.
After 2nd dropping, 31 students remain in the bus.
After 3rd dropping, 15 students remain in the bus.

34. 4; Here 3k = x + 3x + 4x = 8x

As k is also an integer, x should be a multiple of 3.
If x = 3, x, y, z = (3, 9, 12) ..... (i)
If x = 6, x, y, z = (6, 18, 24) .... (ii)
Equation (i) contradicts the condition according to which x, y and z should be even, but equation
(ii) fulfils the above condition. Hence 6 + 18 + 24 = 3k
3k = 48 k = 16.

Both are arithmetic progressions. In series f(x), common difference (c.d.) = 2, and in series g(x),

21-23: The solution: Tim is 3, Jane is 8, and Mary is 15. A little grumbling is in order here as clue
number 1 leads to the situation a year and a half ago, when Tim was 1 1 2 , Jane was 6 1 2 , and
Mary was 13 1 2 .
This sort of problem is easy if you write down a set of equations. Let t be the year that Tim was
born, j be the year that Jane was born, m be the year that Mary was born, and y be the current
year. As indefinite years come up, let y1, y2 ...... be the indefinite years. Then the equations are
y + 10 - t = 2(y1-j) y1 - m = 9 (y1 - t)
y - 8 - m = 1/2 (y2 - j) y2 - j = 1 + y3 - ty3 - m = 5(y + 2 - t) .... and so on.

25. 3; (1) is not correct always. 100th beats 97th but the distance may be from 3 to 30 m.
(2) 97th can’t beat 99th because i > j and ith beat jth.
(3) It is true. 100th is the gold medalist. 1st is the last. If each person beats next by 1m (as k
1) the total margin comes to at least 99 m.
26. 3; Here Divisor = 63; Quotient = 1104;
Remainder = 30
Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder = (63 × 1104) + 30 = 69582
When 69582 is divided by 21, we get 3313 as quotient and 9 as remainder.
Difference between quotient and remainder = 3313 - 9 = 3304.
27. 1; A + B = - C

29. 1; Here M = (100x + 10y + z) + (100z + 10y + x)
M = 101x + 20y + 101z
N = (100x + 10y + z) - (100z + 10y + x) = 99 (x - z)
If x is a multiple of 11 then y will also be a multiple of 11. Hence x + y will be divisible by 11.
N = x - y is always divisible by 11.
4) is also true because when a = c,
N = x - y = 0 M = M + N is true. Thus, we see that 2), 3) and 4) are correct but 1) is not correct
because when x is even, y is not necessarily even, so we can’t say whether M and N are odd or
even.

Therefore the equation has two roots or it is justified for two real values of x.
28. 1; LCM of 5, 7, 9 = 315
The required number should be of the form 315k + 4.
[Let k be the quotient.]
Least value of k for which (315k + 4) is divisible by 17 is k = 9
Required number = (315 × 9 + 4) = 2839.
29. 2; LCM of 12, 15 and 18 is 180.
Least no. of three digits which is divisible by 12, 15 and 18 is 180.
Other numbers which are divisible by 12, 15 and 18 are 360, 540, 720 and 900. (abc - cba) will be
divisible by 11 for all the five values of x — (180, 360, 540, 720 and 900)
Hence A is rejected.
C is rejected because a + b + c = 9 for all the five values of x.
Condition B fulfils the objectives and gives 540 as required number.
30. 3; 3 + 2 = 5 (A) is true. 2 + 3 = 5 (B) is true. (C) is false because prime no. can’t be factorised.

Then x + z = 17 ..... (1)
y + z = 14 ..... (2)
x + y = 15 ....... (3)
Solving these three equations x = 9, y = 6, z = 8
Total days of holidays = 9 + 6 + 8 = 23 days

As all the other players got points at same difference, say x, then

or, 112 + 6x = 364
x = 42
winner’s points = 28 + 3 (42) = 154.
OR (Quicker approach): Since points are at same intervals, the winner gets the maximum
possible points. Which is ( 4 13) + (4 12) + (4 11) + (1 10) = 52 + 48 + 44 + 10 = 154.

where n = 1, 2, 3, ......
In August 2001, there are eight dates (2, 8, 12, 14, 18, 24, 30) which can’t be found in any of the
above series.
Note: The dates should be such that when we subtract 1, they should not be divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
Clearly, these days should be one more than the prime numbers. So, look for such dates which
are just one more than prime numbers (except 2, 3, and 5).

(2) D + C use 90 × 7 = 630 litres in 90 min. It is not true since both the user pipes can’t work

7. 1; LCM of 22 and 33 = 66
Suppose that two digit-number is x. When x is divided by 66 we get 4 as remainder and q1 as
quotient.
Then x = 66 q1 + 4
where value of q1 is such that x be a two-digit number.
Therefore it is obvious that q1 = 1.
x = 4 + 1 × 66 = 70
Again, suppose y is a three-digit number which when divided by 22 and 33 gives 4 as remain-
der.
y = 66 q 2 + 4
Value of q 2 should be such that y be a three-digit number < 200.
q 2 = 2 and y = 4 + 2 × 66 = 36
y - x = 136 - 70 = 66
8. 2; From the graph it is clear that for one value of x, y has two values. This implies that the equa-
tion should be y2 = kx. Because y = kx , ie for one value of x, y has one + ve and one -ve or
total two values.
Now, in the graph we see that x is +ve
k should also be +ve, otherwise kx will be imaginary.
So our correct answer is y2 = kx, k > 0
9. 3; From the same logic as in the above question, the equation should be x2 = ky
x= ky
In the graph, since y is -ve, k should also be -ve, so that ky is real.
The equation is x2 = ky, k < 0.

10. 2; All the given prime numbers are odd numbers. Product of odd numbers will be an odd number.
Now it is clear that when the product of all the numbers written above is divided by 2 we get 1 as
remainder.
11. 4; f ( x ) x x 4 1 x 5 x
We know that units digit of x and x 5 are the same. So units digit of x x 4 1 is 0 f(x) is
divisible by 10.
Again f(x) = x (x - 1) (x + 1) ( x 2 + 1) = (x - 1) (x) (x + 1) ( x 2 + 1)
Here, (x - 1), x and (x + 1) are three consecutive natural numbers.
f(x) is also divisible by 2 and 3.
f(x) is divisible by 5, 3, 30.
12. 1; For one value of x, y has two values and x is always -ve in the graph. The equation should be

16. 2; Choice (1) is not necessarily true.
Choice (2) is correct.
Choices (3) and (1) have the same logic.
Choice (4): Nobody will lose his total money as in each game one time he wins and one time
loses.
Himanshu (100) Sudhanshu (100)

T 75 125
H T 137.5 37.5 62.5 162.5
T H 68.75 118.75 131.25 81.5
From the above table it is clear that (2) is correct.
17. 4; Suppose they get their money back after A games. After 1st toss in Ath game suppose they have
x and y rupees respectively.
Clearly, x + y = 200 (At any stage total amount is Rs 200.)

In the last toss suppose Himanshu has to win. Then x (as they have equal amounts),

which is not possible.

19. 3; Let the sides of the three square boards be x, y and z respectively.
Now x 2 y 2 5 and y 2 z 2 5
(x - y) (x + y) = 5 and (y - z) (y + z) = 5
Now, 5 can’t be broken up into natural numbers such that (x - y) (x + y) = 5, so we change square
feet into square inches. Therefore, (x - y) (x + y) = 5 122 = 720 = (49 - 41) (49 + 41)
Similarly, (y - z) (y + z) = 720 = (41 - 31) (41 + 31)
x = 49 inches; y = 41 inches; z = 31 inches.
Note: Break-up of 720 is guessed from the choices.
20. 2; d = S n 2Sn 1 S n 2

Now, Sr = a + (r-1) d = q + p - 1 + (-1) (r-1) = q + p - r

1. 3; A + B = 9 N = 187, 277, 367, 457 are all prime numbers.
2. 4; From A N = 2345 [ d = 5]
From B N = 3456 or 1234 [ d = 6 or 4]
From C N = 0123 or 4567 [ d = 3 or 7]
But 0123 = 123 which is a three-digit number. Hence N = 4567.
3. 4; Here x, y and z are three positive integers satisfying y = 2x and z = 3x
x+y+z=k
or, x + 2x + 3x = k
or, 6x = k
For x = 1, k = 6, z = 3
x = 2, k = 12, z = 6
when k = 6, (x, y, z) = (1, 2, 3)
k = 12, (x, y, z) = (2, 4, 6)
Now, z 100
If z = 99
x = 99 ÷ 3 = 33
y = 2x = 33 × 2 = 66
k = 33 + 66 + 99 = 198
Therefore when z = 3, k = 6
” when z = 99, k = 198
