(iii)One non zero integer
So total number of solution: 6

Total number of solutions of the equation are
728+168+6=902
Can you please explain why 14C2, 14C1?? I have never gone thru such questions.. Pardon my ignorance..

For zeroes..
1 Zero (15C2-14C2)*4
2 zero (16C2-14C2)*2
3 Zeroes 1

Total=728+56+34=818


If all the solutions are non zeroe so two fro each + and - 2*2*2*2=8
14C2*8 all non zero integral ssolution.

1 Zero --> Total solution with one zero - all non-zeroes
(15C2-14C2)*4 for eac +ve and -ive numbers.
Similarly 2 Zeroes
and last 3 zeroes will not be there.

==================================================
Please scrutnize the process...

Let X = (√3 + √5)^222. If X is written in decimal form, what will be the first digit after the decimal point?

OPTIONS 1)5 2)6 3)7 4)8 5)9

If x+y+z=a
and we neeeed to find the solutions which are non negative non zeres
Think of a balls and if u place 2 partitions to divide alll the balls.Count the number of balls thats the solution.

a-1C3-1 will give the soln.
Similary if zeroes are allowed put ssom other dummy balls whose value is zero..
so
a+2C3-1(note not all the balls could be zero so only 2

So general formulae m-1Cn-1 non zero solution

So general formulae m+n-1Cn-1 solutions along with zeroes

where n is number of unknown

hope this ans ur query
x = 15, y =14, z =6

as you can see x is not divisible by z, y is not divisible by z.. but xy is divisible by z

Re: Official Quant thread for CAT 09-III (September onwards) - 07-11-2009, 10:16 PM

Consider the set G of all integers between 100 and 9999 (including the extremes). Call two integers a and b in G to be in the same category if the digits appearing in a and b are the same. For example, if a = 101, b = 100, c = 1000 and d = 120, then a, b and c are in the same category but c and d are not. Find the number of different categories that can be formed out of G.

n/2 (2x + (n-1)) = 210

2x = (420/n) - n + 1

n = 2,3,4,5,6,7,10,12,14,15,20 are possible for which 420/n is integer

n=2,6,10,14 do not give x as integer.....

so 7 ways...

please explain me the bold part iam not getting it..

"a" and "b" fall into one category because they have the same digits, "c" falls in another category and so falls "d".How many different categories of numbers exist from 100 to 9999.

An ingenious solution given there.

Re: Official Quant thread for CAT 09-III (September onwards) - 07-11-2009, 10:44 PM

if 2 equations x 2 +px+q=0 & x 2 +lx+m=0 have one common root,then how many of following 3 statements can be true?
1) Common root is (pm-ql)/(q-m)
2)Common root is ( q-m )/(l-p)
3) Square of common root is (pm-ql)/(l-p)
1. 0 2. 1 3. 2 4. 3
please post the sol along...
