All the best guys for tomorrow. Crack the XAT...

Rush to the centre at least an hour before you are suposed to reach and try and persuade the invigilators to issue a duplicate card...usually this is done a couple of days before the exam but at this point you can just try your luck! ...All da best

Thanks a lot n ALl de best to All puys

XAT save us...

My life depends on yu ..

I think i am doomed. just a few hours before the exam, i see that those who had no pic or signature on their admit cards, had to collect a provisional copy on 6th from their centres. My admit card has them in very negligible size. i know this is totally my mistake, but seniors, please help! can anything be done?

Time to close the books, shut down the laptop n relaxxxx....all the best puys..party tomorrow after the exam ..cheers!!

All the Best Puys!!!!!

All the best

if A,B,and C be real numbers satisfying A<3
2. 2<3
3. 0<1
4. all above are true
5. none is true

Puys all the best for tomorrow

No dream is too big if you are passionate about it

All the best puys and lets kill XAT tomorrow

Puys,find below a few figures of speech.. Please correct the mistakes, if there are any.
1.alliteration: Series of words that begin with the same consonant or sound alike.
e.g. Round the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran
2.anadiplosis: Repetition of a word at the end of a clause at the beginning of another
e.g.Having power makes isolated; isolation breeds insecurity; insecurity breeds suspicion and fear; suspicion and fear breed violence.
3.anaphora: Repetition of the same word or group of words at the beginning of successive clauses
e.g.In every cry of every man,
In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear:
4.ellipsis: Omission of words
e.g.John can play the guitar, and Mary (can play) the violin
5.homonyms: Words that are identical with each other in pronunciation and spelling, but differing in origin and meaning
6.homophones:Words that are identical with each other in pronunciation but differing in origin and meaning
7.hyperbole: Exaggeration of a statement
8.non sequitur: Statement that bears no relationship to the context preceding
9.onomatopoeia: Word that imitates a real sound (e.g. tick-tock or boom)
10.zoomorphism: Applying animal characteristics to humans or gods
eg-The appearance of the Holy Spirit as a dove in the New Testament.
11.transferred epithet: Placing of an adjective with what appears to be the incorrect noun
e.g."restless night" The night was not restless, but the person who was awake through it was.
12.tautology: Needless repetition of the same sense in different words
e.g.The children gathered in a round circle
13.synecdoche: Form of metonymy, in which a part stands for the whole
e.g."glasses" for spectacles
14.syllepsis: Form of pun, in which a single word is used to modify two other words, with which it normally would have differing meanings
e.g.The foundation of freedome, the fountaine of equitie, the safegard of wealth, and custodie of life, is preserved by lawes.
15.rhetorical question: Asking a question as a way of asserting something. Or asking a question not for the sake of getting an answer but for asserting something (or as in a poem for creating a poetic effect)
e.g.How much longer must our people endure this injustice?
16.pathetic fallacy: Using a word that refers to a human action on something non-human
e.g.The stars will awaken / Though the moon sleep a full hour later
17.euphemism: Substitution of a less offensive or more agreeable term for another
18.dysphemism: Substitution of a harsher, more offensive, or more disagreeable term for another. Opposite of euphemism

Dear friends please reply to this ..... i couldnt solve it ....

8 students A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H are to be made to be stand in ascending height wise order. H is taller than four. C is taller than D but D is not the shortest. F is taller than H. B is taller than A but shorter than E. There are three people between A and B and one of them is H.

Q1. Find no of students whose position is definitely known? - A.1 B.2 C.3 D.0 E none of these

Q2. How many students are taller than G? - A.0 B.5 C.7 D.none of these E.cannot be determined.

karan20 Says

No. shud be of the form 6k-1 or 6k + 1

Actually every prime no. can be written in form 6K+1 but reverse is not true;
Sums on prime no. is CATs favorite as they don't follow any pattern; so better memorize all prime nos. less than 100: it forms a 5x5 matrix : 25 nos.
The sure short procedure is div. check upto root of that no.

No. shud be of the form 6k-1 or 6k + 1

That is not complete solution. You have find approx sq root of the same number and try to divide number of less than with the same number. 6k+-1 doesn't work all the time.

mini622 Says

puys, is there any shortcut to find out if any given large number is prime or not??

karan20 Says

No. shud be of the form 6k-1 or 6k + 1

Please don't go by this becoz a prime number will be of this form but this is not vice versa i.e. a number of this form may still be composite eg: 25 is not prime but 6*4+1=25

There is no shortcut. You will have to divide and check if the number is divisible by prime numbers starting from 2 till the prime number just greater than the square root of the number .

Eg: Though 1997 is in 6K-1 form we will still have to check its divisibility by 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,... till 47

No. shud be of the form 6k-1 or 6k + 1

But, this is just a necessary condition, not the sufficient condition.

puys, is there any shortcut to find out if any given large number is prime or not??

If P is a prime number, how many values of P are possible such that 1999*P + 1 is a perfect square?
A) 6
B) 2
C) 1
D) 0
E) None of these

My take is 1.

1999*P + 1 = x^2
P = (x-1)(x+1) / 1999
numerator ko 1999k banana hai so tht we get P
so when we put x=2000
P = 1999*2001/1999 = 2001
which is nt prime
then x = 1998
P= 1997*1999/1999 = 1997 which is prime.

Hence 1 value.

Sorry Off the topic

Does anyone has his centre as Dronacharya college in Greater Noida , UP ?

I dont have the answer, can u guys share your approach..
