A) 2^30 B) 2^29 C) 2^29 -1 D) 2^29+1 E ) None of these

E ) None of these

A) 5√2 B) 3+3√2 C) 5 D) 4 E) 10
c) 5

5) Let f be a function defined on odd natural numbers which return natural numbers such that f(n+2)=f(n)+n
and f(1)=0 . Then f(201)?
A) 10000 B)20000 C) 40000 D) 2500 E) None of these

Then the value of |a1 - b1| + |a2 - b2| + |a3 - b3| + ..... + |a10 - b10|
is
odd
is even
lies between 20 and 30
lies between 10 and 20
cannot be determined
First 10 natural numbers will always be 10 even and 10 odd

so the difference or sum of these 20 numbers will be an even number always

hence answer b only
