1 1 1 1 1

1 1

x x x x x xb cx x

+ − + − + + × = − + −

We get, 1 1, 1b c

b c= − =

⇒ (b, c) = (9, 8), (8, 7), (7, 6) (6, 5)

2. Answer (10)

1981 + p = q2, 1981 + q = p2

⇒ p – q = q2 – p2

⇒ p2 – q2 + p – q = 0

⇒ (p – q) (p + q + 1) = 0

⇒ p = q or p + q = – 1

But p and q are distinct numbers

∴ p + q = – 1 ...(1)

Now p2 + q2 = p + q + 3962

p2 + q2 = – 1 + 3962 (from (1))

(p + q)2 – 2pq = 3961

1 – 2pq = 3961

2pq = – 3960

pq = – 1980

⇒ 1990 + pq = 10

4. Answer (04)

Unit digit of 20022005 is 2,

Unit digit of 20032006 is 9 and

Unit digit of 20072007 is 3

Thus unit digit of (20022005 + 20032006 + 20072007) is 2 + 9 + 3 = 14

∴ Last digit will be 4.

5. Answer (05)

Let N = (100a + 10b + c)2 = (a + b + c)5

⇒ N is both a square and fifth power

⇒ N must be tenth power

(100a + 10b + c) denotes a three digit number.

⇒ N is square of three digit number

∴ 210 = (25)2 = (32)2 is not possible

310 = (35)2 = (243)2 is possible.

410 = (45)2 = (1024)2 is not possible.

∴ N = (243)2 = (2 + 4 + 3)5

⇒ a = 2, b = 4, and c = 3

∴ (a × b – c) = 2 × 4 – 3 = 5

6. Answer (18)

a2 + b2 + 2c2 = 4a – 2c + 2bc – 5

a2 + b2 + 2c2 – 4a + 2c – 2bc + 5 = 0

(a2 – 4a + 4) + (b2 + c2 – 2bc) + (c2 + 1 + 2c) = 0

(a – 2)2 + (b – c)2 + (c + 1)2 = 0

⇒ a = 2, b = c and c = – 1

∴ 6a – 4b – 2c = 12 + 4 + 2 = 18

7. Answer (02)

2 2 25 12 13z z z+ = is satisfied only when

z2 = 2, since 52 + 122 = 132, 25 + 144 = 169.

(2a + 1)2 – (2b + 1)2 = 4a2 + 4a + 1 – 4b2 – 4b – 1

= 4(a2 + a – b2 – b)

= 4(a (a + 1) – b (b + 1))

As we know product of two consecutive numbers are always divisible by 2

∴ 4[a(a + 1) – b(b + 1)] is always divisible by 4 × 2 i.e. 8.

∴ K = 8

14. Answer (32) Denote the desired total of alternating sums of an

n elements set with Sn. We are looking S4. Note that all alternating sums of an n element set are also alternating sums of an (n + 1) elements set. However, when we go from n to (n + 1) element set for each subset with the new element we are adding the new element and subtracting one of the alternating sum of the n element set. There are 2n subset of an (n + 1) element set that includes the new element, giving us following relationship

Sn + 1 = Sn + 2n (n + 1) – Sn = 2n (n + 1) For n = 3, this becomes S4 = 23 (3 + 1) = 8 × 4 = 32

15. Answer (01) Sum of coefficients of p(y) can be obtained by

getting the value of p(1). (15y15 – 11y + 1) p(y) = 2005y2005 (15 – 11 + 1) p(1) = 2005 2005(1) 401

5p = =

∴ Unit digit of sum of coefficient p(y) is 1 16. Answer (03) (x2 + 4x – 2)2 = (5x2 – 1)2 (x2 + 4x – 2)2 – (5x2 – 1)2 = 0 (x2 + 4x – 2 + 5x2 – 1) (x2 + 4x – 2 – 5x2 + 1) = 0 (6x2 + 4x – 3) (– 4x2 + 4x – 1) = 0 ⇒ 4x2 – 4x + 1 = 0 6x2 + 4x – 3 = 0 D = 16 – 16 = 0 D = 16 + 72 = 88 Roots are equal and D > 0

real. Roots are distinct and real

∴ Distinct numbers satisfying equation is 3. 17. Answer (48)

Since 1

nn

= , an. an–1 = n

For n = 2, 4 and 6, we get a2 a1 = 2, a4a3 = 4 and a6a5 = 6 ⇒ a1a2a3a4a5a6 = 2.4.6 = 48 18. Answer (35) a83 = 683 + 883 a83 = (7 – 1)83 + (7 + 1)83 a83 = 2(783 + 3403 × 781 ... + 83 × 7) On dividing a83 by 49 we find that all terms are

divisible except last term 2 × 83 × 7, on dividing 2 × 83 × 7 = 1162 by 49 we get 35 as remainder.

1162 = 49 × 23 + 35 19. Answer (04) According to question n should be multiple of 5 and 3. Any multiple of 5 end with 0 or 5. ∴ n should ends with ‘0’. Also sum of digits of n should be divisible by 3,

hence 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 is only divisible by 3 as we can use only 4 or 0 as digits in ‘n’

∴ n = 4440

⇒ 4440 4

20. Answer (07)

ab + a + b = 322

⇒ (a + 1) (b + 1) = 323 = 17 × 19 ...(i)

and bc + b + c = 398

⇒ (b + 1) (c + 1) = 399 = 19 × 21 ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

a + 1 = 17 b + 1 = 19 c + 1 = 21

a = 16 b = 18 c = 20

⇒ abcd = 40320

⇒ 40320 7dabc

21. Answer (46)

n has to be integer

(n + 42)2 < n2 + 84n + 1941 < (n + 45)2

n2 + 84n + 1941 is a perfect square

n2 + 84n + 1941 = (n + 43)2 ...(i)

n2 + 84n + 1941 = (n + 44)2 ...(ii)

On solving (i) and (ii), we get 5 , 46

4n =

∴ n = 46

22. Answer (13)

Since 12p + 1 is odd

Let 12p + 1 = (2a + 1)3

12p + 1 = 8a3 + 12a2 + 6a + 1

6p = a(4a2 + 6a + 3)

We know that p is a positive odd integer since 4a2 + 6a + 3 is an odd number

∴ a = 6

p = 4(6)2 + 6 × 6 + 3

= 183

∴ 33 12 1 12 183 1p + = × +

24. Answer (23)

f(x) + x2 = 0

f(–1) = –1

f(2) = –4

f(–3) = –9

f(4) = –16

Since f(x) is a polynomial of degree 4

f(x) + x2 = (x + 1)(x – 2)(x + 3)(x – 4)

f(1) + 12 = (2)(–1)(4)(–3)

= a + b – b ( b = –c)

= a ∴ a = 2 27. Answer (06) n3 – n = (n – 1)(n)(n + 1) for all integral values of n Since in a pair of consecutive integers, there is a

multiple of two and in a triplet of consecutive integers, there is a multiple of three

∴ n3 – n is divisible by 6 28. Answer (04) f(0) = 7, f(2) = 9 and f(–3) = 49 ∴ 3a + 5b + 2c = (–2)2 = 4 29. Answer (02) a and b are either 3k + 1 or 3k + 2 Let a = 3k + 1, b = 3k + 2 a2 + b2 = 18k2 + 18k + 5 = 3(6k2 + 6k + 1) + 2 ∴ The remainder is 2 30. Answer (05) 2x + 3y = 763

⇒ 763 32

yx −=

Since x is a positive integer ∴ 763 – 3y must be a positive even integer, so

that y must be a positive odd integer such that 3y ≤ 763.

There are 254 multiples of 3 less than 763, half of which are odd 2 half are even.

1. Answer (13) a > b > c > d a + b > a + c > b + c > a + d > b + d > c + d a + b = x, a + c = y, b + c = 222, a + d = 211,

b + d = 200, c + d = 185 x + y = (a + b) + (a + c) = 2((a + d) + (b + c)) – ((c + d) + (b + d)) = 2(211 + 222) – (185 + 200) = 866 – 385 = 481 ∴ Sum of digits = 4 + 8 + 1 = 13 2. Answer (36) 1 3

7. Answer (04)

2 214 9 14

9 9a b a bb a ab

++ = must be an integer

Since the denominator contains a factor of 9 9 | 9a2 + 14b2

⇒ 9 | b2 ⇒ 3 | b Since, b = 3n for some positive integer n

∴ 2 214

3a n

an+

The denominator now contains a factor of n n | a2 + 14n2 ⇒ n | a2 But since 1 = hcf(a, b) = hcf(a, 3n) = hcf(a, n) ∴ n = 1 and thus b = 3

for b = 3, 2 143

for integer a must be a factor of 14 a ∈ {1, 2, 7, 17} ∴ There are four solutions (1, 3)(2, 3)(7, 3)(14, 3) = 4 8. Answer (07) 2003 = 4(500) + 3 The unit digit of m2003 is 3 Let m ends with digit 2 then unit digit of m2003 is

same as unit digit of 22003 22003 = (24)500 × 23 = 16500 × 8, product ends with 8, not 2 Let unit digit of m is 7 then 72003 = (74)500 × 73 Since 74 ends with 1 and 73 end with 3, the

product end with 3, which is the required digit ∴ Unit digit of m is 7 9. Answer (56) α3 = 343 ⇒ α3 – 343 = 0 ⇒ (α –7)(α2 + 7α + 49) = 0 ⇒ α = 7 or α2 + 7α + 49 = 0 α ≠ 7, since α is non-real. ⇒ α2 + 7α + 49 = 0 D = (7)2 – 4(1)(49) = –147 D < 0

Since, α is also a non-real root of ax2 + bx + c

α2 + aα + b = 0 a = 7, b = 49 ∴ a + b = 56 10. Answer (08) x2 + x – 110 = (x – 10)(x + 11) is divisible by 19 either (x – 10) or (x + 11) divisible by 19 Integers x with 11 ≤ x ≤ 100 and (x – 10) divisible

by 19 are 29, 48, 67, 86 (x + 11) divisible by 19 are 27, 46, 65, 84 ∴ {27, 29, 46, 48, 65, 67, 84, 86} Required number of integers = 8 11. Answer (15) x2 + 10y2 + 1 – 6xy + 2y ≤ 0 ⇒ x2 + 9y2 – 6xy + 2y + y2 + 1 ≤ 0 ⇒ (x – 3y)2 + (y + 1)2 ≤ 0

Since 13 is a prime number, the only possible factors are ±1 and ±13.

Case-I (x + y) + (xy – 6) = 13 and (x + y) – (xy – 6) = 1

Case-II (x + y) – (xy – 6) = –13 and (x + y) + (xy – 6) = –1

∴ (7, 0), (0, 7), (3, 4), (4, 3) are the solutions.

25. Answer (89)

Let 3 2100 ( 10)( )n n n an b c+ = + + + +

( )3 2 10 ( 10 ) 10n n a n b a b c= + + + + + +

Equating coefficients,

10 + a = 0

b + 10a = 0

10b + c = 100

a = –10, b = 100 and c = –900

∴ Maximum value for n is 890.

26. Answer (09)

x2 – 5x + 4 ≥ 0

(x – 1) (x – 4) ≥ 0

x ≥ 1, x ≥ 4

x2 + 2x – 3 ≥ 0

(x + 3) (x – 1) ≥ 0

x ≤ –3 or x ≥ 1

6 – x – x2 ≥ 0

(x + 3) (x – 2) ≤ 0

–3 ≤ x ≤ 2

All roots are defined at x = –3 and x = 1.

At, x = –3, the inequality becomes

2 28 0≥

At x = 1, the inequality becomes 0 5 6≥

∴ Only x = –3 satisfies.

x2 = 9

27. Answer (00)

When we put (–x) in equation, we get always +ve in L.H.S. and –ve in R.H.S.

28. Answer (46)

x2 + y2 – 45x – 45y + 2xy – 46 = 0

⇒ x2 + y2 + 2xy – (45x + 45y) –46 = 0

⇒ (x + y)2 – 45(x + y) – 46 = 0

⇒ (x + y + 1) (x + y – 46) = 0

x + y = –1 is not possible since x and y are natural numbers.

∴ x + y = 46
