Re: official quant thread for CAT 2009 - 22-07-2009, 02:50 AM

(m)*A1+ (m-1)*A2+(m-2)*A3+... Am =99

Where, A1 to Am are either 3 or 7.

If all, were 7, then for m=5, Sum =105
and if all were 3 then, for m=7, sum=84

This shows that m must be seleceted out of 5,6 and 7

When we replace 7 with 3 or 3 with 7 there will be a change of 4 units, hence m=5 can never give sum as 99 because (105-99) is not of the form 4k.

For m=7, and all 7s, we have sum = 196. Since (196-99) is not 4k hence m=7 is not possible.

For, m=6, and all 7s, we have sum = 147. Since (147-99) is of the form 4k, and the difference is 48, we can have thje following combinations:

3,7,3,7,3,7
7,3,3,3,7,7
3,3,7,7,7,3
3,7,7,3 ,3,3
7,3,3,7,3,3

Hence 5 solutions.

Adventure is worthwhile!

hi vivek..well i took an equilateral triangle of side'a'..

the new triangle has sides 1.2a,1.1a and 1.15a...and preceeded using hero's formula...

i think hero's formula can be applied..though the calculation will be tedious...but i think the data is sufficient...


Its again the poor mouse who is finding out ways to bell the CAT..
