Ans - The only way in which 2700 can be written as product of 8 integers is by using negative integers. So,
2700 = 1 * 2* 2 * 3 * 3* 3 * 5 * 5 -> 8 integers, we need to put in negative signs in a way that all are distinct.
Q. X is the largest sum of rupees which can never be paid using any number of coins of denominations Rs.4, Rs.8,
Rs.13 and Rs.18. What is the sum of the digits of X ?
a9
b 10
c 11
d None of these
Ans - The given numbers are of the form ... X, 2X, 3X+1, 4X+2 (i.e.X=4)
Largest number which cannot be obtained using the combination is of the form 6X+3. After that all of them can be
written using the above combinations.
Q. A=10 * w^9 * x^7 * y^3 and B= 50 * w* x^13 * z^4, where w,x,y,z are distinct prime numbers greater than
10. If A*B=C , find the number of those common multiples of A & B that are factors of C.
(a) 80
(b) 64
(c) 48
(d) 16
Ans - the lcm of A nd B will be 50*w^9*x^13*y^3*z^4..which is the least common multiple of A nd B...now
A*B=500*w^10*x^20*y^3*z^4....the possible factors(A nd B) can be arrangement of individual parts for example..
the factors of A*B will simply be multiples of Lcm of A nd B
factors of 500 greater than or equal to 50 are which are also multiple of 50 (50,100,250,500)......4 optns similarly for
powers of w ..we will have only two options w^9 and w^10..similarly for powers of y can range from 13 to 20 ..ie 8
options..and for y and z we have only one option ...so possible combinations will be
4*2*8*1*1=64 Ans
Q. There are 16 stations between London and Edinburgh. Find the number of ways in which a train can stop at any
5 of these intermediate stations such that no two such intermediate stations are next to each other?
(a) 330
(b) 1365
(c) 792
(d) 495
Ans - The question is same as putting 5 stations between 11, such that no 2 stations are next to each other.
There are 12 gaps between and aside 11 stations. We can choose any 5 of these 12.
Thats C(12,5)=792
Q - If x + y + z = 3, where x, y and z are positive real numbers, then the integer which is nearest to the maximum
value of x^2y^3z is
a) 1
b) 2
c) 0
d) 3
Ans - x^2y^3z will have maximum value when x/2=y/3=z. so let x/2=y/3=z=k then
x+y+z=3
2k+3k+k=3
6k=3 =>k=1/2
so x^2y^3z = 1^2 *(3/2)^3 *1/2 =27/16 =1.68 closest to 2.
Q - How many pairs of numbers exist such that their LCM is 1260 and their HCF is a prime number?
1. There are 6 balls of different colours and 3 boxes of different sizes. Each box
can hold all the 6 balls. The balls are put in the boxes so that no box remains
empty. The number of ways in which this can be done is:
3. The number of ways in which the letters of the word "ARGUMENT" can be
arranged so that only consonants occur at both the ends is:
4. The number of ways in which the digits of the number 125453752 can be
arranged such that no two 5s come together is:
6. After a typist had written ten letters and had addressed the ten corresponding
envelops, a careless mailing clerk inserted the letters in the envelopes at random,
one letter per envelop. What is the probability that exactly nine letters were
inserted in proper envelop?
7. In a 26-question test, five points were deducted for each wrong answer and
eight points were credited for each correct answer. If all the questions were
answered, how many were correct if the score was zero?
9. If the value of x is greater than or equal to -1 and less than or equal to 2 and the
value of y is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3, then least
possible value of (2y - 3x) is
