next, in q1 you have d>e>f and c<a, c<b and you got to find the maximum value of 'c'...

so we first take 'g' = 0 so that d+e+f =100

next, we maximise total number of votes...for that we got to maximise 'f'...this gives us,
d=35, e=33, f=32 (as d>e>f) resulting in a total of 197 votes...

so a+b+c=197 and with the given conditions of c<a, n c<b, maximum value for c can be 65...

hope this helps

n awesome work HarshaRocks

Thanks!!! it helped a lot.....but forgive if m asking a silly question....
i've a doubt that....suppose as u told

d= 35
e=33
f=32

then... no. of students who play c,f n h =32
no. of students who play either c,f or f,h or c,h=33
no. of students who play c or f or h= 35 ....to make c less than a n b i chose

no. of students who play c,f=33
no. of students who play only h=35

then, it comes no of students who play c=65
no of students who play f=65
no of students who play h=67....but c<a n b....m confused!!!

Just wanted to chip in and say guys you are doing a great job...specially.. Hameed..(the way you inspire people..too much hai jee..)..IAYF(i ahve really learnt a lot from ur posts..seriously)..tanveer bhai..(I blindly follow your inputs on this thread)...JLT..(you are GOD..)

also wanted to tell you guys that these days I am busy with my office work..still I am keeping a constant tab on this thread...and may be because of this I managed 95%ile in 0808(earlier I was getting close to 90%ile)..

wanted to join you guys for the conference...but workload at office does not allow me to...hope someone will post the transcript tommorow...nice job Vineet..(will try to be regular on QQAD too

)

and how can i forget greenspan..your contribution to this thread is simply awesome..got to learn a lot from you too..

hope a non BBLTian is allowed to post on this thread.

Some excerpts from BBLT Conf 2--12/09
Agenda: QA-AIMCAT 0808

started with Vineet bhai discussing his overall strategy and then Q2:

Writetotanveer (9/12/2007 10:29:40 PM): So - When you opened 0808 -which did you think were the easiest - lets do a practical demo along with you
Writetotanveer (9/12/2007 10:29:53 PM): so that we can have a look into ur mind!!

Vineet.nitd---ok...how i attempt--first 2-3 minutes i mark the easiest questions possible ..that takes say 10 secs to 2.5 mins and mind that...the easiest in a paper like this iwould mark 2,5,6,7,10,21,22...now what happens here is--i am reducing the waste time which would have occured as a result of searching again and again after doing each prob

Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:29:59 PM): it took me 2 secs to markj the ans for Q.2
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:30:09 PM): this was as quick as anyone's response time
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:30:11 PM):
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:30:14 PM): I ave 35 mins to this section
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:30:26 PM): gave*
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:30:35 PM): see what i did
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:30:37 PM): in q2
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:30:46 PM): 100 and 7 are coprimes..
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:30:57 PM): hence7^20k will give remainder 1
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:30:59 PM): finish
IAYF (9/12/2007 10:31:08 PM): too gud
Pavan Padekal (9/12/2007 10:31:13 PM): WOW
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:31:14 PM): i will tell u how
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:31:16 PM): no 7^40 ==1
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:31:18 PM): not 20
Writetotanveer (9/12/2007 10:31:20 PM): God Level!
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:31:20 PM): same here..5 secs
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:31:24 PM): harsh ....
mohit_1984 (9/12/2007 10:31:27 PM): But if some one goes via euler number method and take it as 40?
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:31:47 PM): let me clear you ...by going one step ahead of where you have this inplace
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:31:58 PM): @mohit..again the same doubt which you asked
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:32:05 PM): in concepts
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:32:07 PM): thread!
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:32:28 PM): see ...Euler toitient theorem stated that ...N^E will give remainder as 1
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:32:34 PM): with a number coprime to N
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:32:35 PM): @simplyfade..could u change to a black font plz buddy
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:32:36 PM): take LCM of numbers and not product
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:32:40 PM): but he did not tell us that
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:32:54 PM): done!
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:33:02 PM): thnx
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:33:09 PM): if we take LCM of the euler numbers of all the primes of N then the effective Euler number will also
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:33:14 PM): give the same result
Hameed (9/12/2007 10:33:17 PM): I took like remainder on dividing by 100 shd be dependent on last 2 digits of 7^700 which is 01...
Hameed (9/12/2007 10:33:38 PM): i used last 2 digit funda frm TG
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:33:48 PM): 100=2^2 * 5^2 --take lcm of 2 and 20 which is 20 ....
IAYF (9/12/2007 10:33:49 PM): samehere
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:33:49 PM): 76^ ??????
obsessed_bout_mba (9/12/2007 10:34:03 PM): yup me also the same method...7^4..pattern
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:34:08 PM): 40 also holds ...but so does 20 ...g
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 10:34:25 PM): same here 7^4
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:34:37 PM): 40 that is vineet!
fringant (9/12/2007 10:34:42 PM): me too same method as deep
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:34:44 PM): hammeeed that is fine ..but its always gud to learn the tools that will enable you in decreasing response time
obsessed_bout_mba (9/12/2007 10:34:59 PM): but..make a not of this method..this is simple n quick
Hameed (9/12/2007 10:35:07 PM): yes i kno...i took longer than 2 seconds anyways
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:35:19 PM): HARSH ia it clear y we take 20k ?
IAYF (9/12/2007 10:35:22 PM): can u just summarise this Vineet bhai..
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:35:26 PM): shall i do the honours vineet
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:35:26 PM): ya
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:35:27 PM): bhai
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:35:30 PM): !
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:36:13 PM): Summary is that ... any number raised to the power of the lcm of its euler numbers will give a remainder 1 when divided by a number coprime to it
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:36:45 PM): and wht are eulers nos?
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:36:58 PM): n^e / N will always be 1....provided n and N are co-prime! here e is the euler number
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:37:14 PM): Euler number 's physical sgnificance : the number of all coprimes to a number less than it
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:37:19 PM): for 100 it is 40
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:37:44 PM): One can epress any natur number N as N=p^a*q^b ...
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:37:45 PM): awesome
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:37:51 PM): thnx..tht ws great
obsessed_bout_mba (9/12/2007 10:38:03 PM): number of all co-primes less than a number is given by 2^n-1...where n is the number of its prime factors
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:38:15 PM): Euler no. of Nis given by E= N*(1-1/p)(1-1/q) ...
obsessed (9/12/2007 10:38:42 PM): one doubt
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:38:49 PM): @ raghu that is the way of expressing any number as a product two relatively prime no.s
obsessed (9/12/2007 10:38:59 PM): u ve mentioned lcm of its euler numbers???
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:39:02 PM): Raghu no..you are doing a mistake ... think ?
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:39:20 PM): N is a natural number whose euler no. is E
obsessed (9/12/2007 10:39:23 PM): oops..yes...thats wrong for it
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:39:31 PM): well take 100...how wud u calculate
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:39:36 PM): euler no
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:39:39 PM): for it
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:39:49 PM): 100 = 2^2 *5^2
fringant (9/12/2007 10:39:50 PM): yes...pls do that
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:39:52 PM): right?
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:39:54 PM): raghu ..that is what we have worked out on our own...this also works although Euler did not state it
obsessed (9/12/2007 10:40:13 PM): ok
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:40:14 PM): N=100 here!
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:40:37 PM): 100 (1-1/2) *(1-1/5)
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:40:43 PM): is the euler numer
obsessed_bout_mba (9/12/2007 10:40:50 PM): okies
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:41:20 PM): Dont confuse...euler no. with effective euler no
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:41:22 PM): chalo move on
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 10:41:23 PM): ok... euler is clear.. thanks marijuana
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:41:37 PM): so this can be done for lots of remainder qs, where the num and denom are coprime

IAYF · 04:02 AM

Next, he discussed a short approach for Qs 23-25 (to find out the number of weighings to identify the different weight)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:44:28 PM): hw abt the last 3 questions?
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:44:33 PM): ya
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:44:35 PM): the basic concept behind them?
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:44:37 PM): let me help
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:44:42 PM): with the last 3
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:44:49 PM): i have got a general
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:44:53 PM): formula!
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:44:57 PM): 5 secs
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:45:01 PM): per question
Hameed (9/12/2007 10:45:01 PM): cool
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:45:10 PM): great
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:45:11 PM): last 3 questions ...ke mool mantra yaad rakho ...if 3^(n-1) is less than the number the required ans is n
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:45:24 PM): just less*
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:45:26 PM): ya
IAYF (9/12/2007 10:45:28 PM): awesome
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:45:30 PM): great!!!!
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:45:30 PM): no need to solve anything
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:45:32 PM): same
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:45:33 PM): !!!!!!!!
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:46:03 PM): brilliant:0
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 10:46:06 PM): if*....
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:46:11 PM): alwys applies to these questions?
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:46:13 PM): one can solve it by taking ..cases but ..this is wot u will get at
mohit_1984 (9/12/2007 10:46:18 PM): is it for all kidn of Pans?
IAYF (9/12/2007 10:46:25 PM): koi exception to nai?
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:46:25 PM): well
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:46:34 PM): dre r 2 kinds of pans
Hameed (9/12/2007 10:46:34 PM): only if lighter or heavier is known rt?
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:46:37 PM): no
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:46:41 PM): PAN BALANCE
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:46:42 PM): not all kinda
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:46:45 PM): n SPRING BALANCE
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:46:53 PM): PAN BALNCE
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:46:58 PM): mein form groups of 3
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:47:06 PM): do u remember wo weight wale quests where we need to find the weights by using minimum no. of weights
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:47:16 PM): SPRing balance mein form groups of 2
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 10:47:17 PM): haan... vineet...
fringant (9/12/2007 10:47:28 PM): haan i remember
Hameed (9/12/2007 10:47:29 PM): only if lighter or heavier is known rt?....
fringant (9/12/2007 10:47:31 PM): them too
mohit_1984 (9/12/2007 10:47:36 PM): Yes
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:47:49 PM): if addition and removal both can be done from the pans..its powers of 3 and if opnly addition that powers of 2
Hameed (9/12/2007 10:48:07 PM): what if we only kno a weight is different.....no lighter or heavier ....?
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:48:47 PM): vineet..this addition and removal applies to all kind s of weights?
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:48:53 PM): Hameed i think here in the case ofi dentifying bad weight ...for every case the ans is same
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:49:08 PM): vineet
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:49:19 PM): what if lighter/heavier is not known
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:49:28 PM): whether its heavy of lighter
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:49:36 PM): in that case it'll be diff i bel
Pavan Padekal (9/12/2007 10:50:15 PM): yes it will be!
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:51:04 PM): harsh ...i am not sure ab ... will get back on this
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:51:13 PM): I am sure abt this
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:51:17 PM): but i thought it does not make diff.
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:51:24 PM): well wont matter
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:51:27 PM): see if u hv 15 coins
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:51:29 PM): i second vineet
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:51:43 PM): n u dont know lighter or heavier
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:51:46 PM): u cant find that
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:51:57 PM): or for makin my life easy
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:52:01 PM): take 26 coins
Pavan Padekal (9/12/2007 10:52:17 PM): yes when the question is find if its lighter or heavier it changes
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:52:42 PM): no in that case it wont be more than 12
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:52:47 PM): if i hv to find that as well
Hameed (9/12/2007 10:53:10 PM): take question 23 and do it if we dint kno it is lighter
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:53:11 PM): well take 8 coins
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:53:13 PM): i think in last question if N=285
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:53:14 PM): harsh that is right ...but ultimately the ans comes out to be same only
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:53:25 PM): well...i guess wen u find it out u can post it on the thread
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:53:26 PM): instead of 284
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:53:31 PM): it wont be the same
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:53:32 PM): aha!
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:53:40 PM): well see 284 lies between
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:53:47 PM): 243 and 729
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:53:53 PM): i.e 3^5 and 3^6
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:54:01 PM): sorry not 285
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:54:08 PM): hence weighing wud be 6
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:54:15 PM): whatever bro!
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:54:25 PM): ok I'll come back to u in this
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:54:26 PM): any number btwn 243 and 729
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:54:37 PM): excluding both
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:54:44 PM): harsh ...when you calculate the final value it always satisfies the condition i wrote
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:54:46 PM): but i am sure u cant find among 26 coins
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:54:48 PM): will need 6 weighings
made_for_iims (9/12/2007 10:54:58 PM): in 3 weighingd
IAYF (9/12/2007 10:55:05 PM): okay! so sab three ki powers ki beech ke groups banenge
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:55:18 PM): 26 lies btwn 9 and 27
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:55:26 PM): and hw abt if its a no like 27 or 81, a power of 3?
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:55:30 PM): i.e 3^2 and 3^3...
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:55:49 PM): now going by cases ....finally u will find that the shortst number of cases ke liye it has to be 6 weighings only gor 284
IAYF (9/12/2007 10:56:14 PM): Vineet/marijuana---27,81,243 ke liye?
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:56:29 PM): 27...divide 9 9 9
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:56:46 PM): suppose frst 2 has the odd weight
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:56:56 PM): i mean one of the frst 2
IAYF (9/12/2007 10:57:00 PM): hmm
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 10:57:03 PM): it'll take only a single weiging...
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 10:57:21 PM): or not...
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:57:25 PM): na
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:57:26 PM): na
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:57:29 PM): how come???
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:57:30 PM): yup...awesome shortcuts vineet n marijuana
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 10:57:31 PM): comes 4 again...
IAYF (9/12/2007 10:57:49 PM): go on Marijuana
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 10:57:50 PM): sorry mariguana/// so the formula holds true there too...
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:57:56 PM): yess deep
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 10:58:00 PM): then wht ab 9 or 27..explain plz
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:58:04 PM): n-i yaard rakho ..
fringant (9/12/2007 10:58:07 PM): yes please
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:58:14 PM): aur fir baad me nkal lenma\
fringant (9/12/2007 10:58:24 PM): vineet bhai so finally for 27 what will be the ans...
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:58:35 PM): arpit ..4 weighings
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 10:58:40 PM): arpit... 4
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:58:40 PM): arey 27 ne toh hila diya
fringant (9/12/2007 10:58:43 PM): ok...cool
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:58:46 PM): 3^3
marijuana_user (9/12/2007 10:58:52 PM): hai so 3+1 weighings
mohit_1984 (9/12/2007 10:58:55 PM): and 81 ke liye?
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 10:59:00 PM): 5

fringant (9/12/2007 11:09:19 PM): ok..yeah
jimmygoogle (9/12/2007 11:09:21 PM): dude, 10^2 = 100 = smallest 3 digti number
fringant (9/12/2007 11:09:21 PM): silly me
deep agrawal (9/12/2007 11:09:21 PM): ok
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 11:09:38 PM): yeah
jimmygoogle (9/12/2007 11:09:45 PM): so for any number < 10, ^ 2 will have 2 digits before the decimal point
IAYF (9/12/2007 11:09:56 PM): hmm
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 11:10:23 PM): so remember if you wana know the number of digits in a number take the log of it .... and then operate i on a ceiling function
jimmygoogle (9/12/2007 11:10:42 PM): exactly.
obsessed (9/12/2007 11:10:50 PM): k
jimmygoogle (9/12/2007 11:10:53 PM): pela hai vineet bhai ne.
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 11:10:59 PM): ceilng function bole to greatest integer funaction ka just ulta..least integer bigger than the number
fringant (9/12/2007 11:11:11 PM): please demonstarte the above with respect to qn 5
IAYF (9/12/2007 11:11:12 PM): too gud

Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 11:11:21 PM):
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 11:11:42 PM): a,b,c,d,e sab find karo aur multiply karo
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 11:11:50 PM): 6^15/2 aaega...ok?
fringant (9/12/2007 11:11:57 PM): ok

fringant (9/12/2007 11:13:21 PM): awesome
Hameed (9/12/2007 11:13:22 PM): Our clue shd be when they give log value of numbers in questions
Vineet.nitd (9/12/2007 11:13:35 PM): ab ye jo bhi value aaye...usse ek bada number lena jo ki integer ho usse just bada
ankit_insane (9/12/2007 11:13:42 PM): exactly hamee..tht helped me get to the soln
marijuana_user nagpal (9/12/2007 11:14:54 PM): even i did that---but the girl in front of me

Hi IAYF!

Thanks for the terrific job with transcripts!!!

By the way - Is our VA session on Friday ON??

Are the timings same??

Just asking because of the Twenty20 cricket match between India - Pak ..??

I hope I dont have my dates mixed up

Regards
Tanveer

ankit_insane · 02:40 PM

haha Tanveer bhai, i guess thts a subtle way to put it tht we should not have the session on Friday night.

I think the timings should be a bit duiferent, not clashing with the match. Im sure u think similarly captain

By the way, yesterdays session was excellent, very informative. Thnx to Vineet, marijuana and harsha for all the efforts and fundas.

Thnx to IAYF for all the effort and the transcript.

You are absolutely right Tanveer bhai...THE MATCH IS ON!
We can reschedule the conference to saturday unless we want to discuss how our team can perform better in T20 WC

I would say, as Hameed suggested last night, that we all give a shot to SIMCAT2 (being a scorcher that it was, will help us for sure) and then we can have a discussion on Saturday night on the same...some of us have allready been through it, so they can pitch in as well...

In addition to this, let's keep QQAD test 5 in our agenda...

what say puys?
pour in ur thoughts...

hameed · **Re: Bol Bachan Losers Team! - 07 -** 13-09-2007, 02:08 PM

Well first and foremost, very good session yesterday...and special thanks to Vineet.nitd, Marijuana_user, and harsha for all the inputs ... and to IAYF for invites and the summary here.

Yesterday after session, wraped work at office, went home and slept.

Today did a RC test
30 mins, 3 RC passages read, attempted 15 questions , 11 right, 4 wrong , score- 10

Then tried a couple of DI sets from AIMcat 719, one venn diagram one couldnt get the funda..referred solution and understood it. Another LR based set, 4 questions - 2marks each , all correct.

As for the Sessions, here is my suggestion -

Lets all take simcat 2 sometime before saturday evening, and we can have a complete autopsy of this paper that evening, we can start earlier this time...(being a saturday) at about 8:30 or 9 and go on till 11.

We can have a general VA discussion sunday night. This could be a 2 hour session.

For QQAD test 5 - I suggest we take it sometime before next wednessday, and have a discussion on it wednessday night - again gurus could come in and give some original gyaan.

Lets reserve next Friday for anything in special we might want to discuss or it could be a DI session

I think we can all plan our prep around the above schedule If all agree that is...

Rock on!
hameed
