speaks the truth

p,q,r and s are four positive natural numbers in ascending order .using the linear

combination of these four numbers with coefficient 1,0 or -1, if we can write any

integer between -40 and 40 ,both inclusive,then what is the value of 4p+3q+2r+s?

1)24

2)46

3)36

4)59

@ankitripathi said: Consider the following numbers. x = 20^5+ 20^4+ 1 y = 16^8 €“ 16^5 €“ 16^3 €“ 1 Which of the following statements is true?1) x and y are both prime.2) x is prime but y is composite.3) y is prime but x is composite.4) x and y are both composite

1. a monkey climbing a greased pole ascends 10 meters but slips down 2 meters in alternate minute. if the pole is 64 meters high , how long will it take to reach the top?


p.s - has to literally type the Q's. :(

in 2 mins effective climbing 10-2=8
so 7x8=56 near to 64 means in 7x2=14 mins he will climb 56
now 8 m is left which is calculated:
1min(60sec)=10m
48sec=8m
so 14min 48sec

What is the remainder when 99008800......1100551 is divided by 440?

11k+1=10m+1=>110n+111
110n+111=4c+3=>440h+328 (for n=2 it will satisfy)
hence 328 rem

The coach of the national rugby team wants to form a team of 5, 6 or 7 players for a practice match against the rival team. The following information is known.

1. A is always selected with K and vice versa.
2. If B is selected, then N should not be selected and vice versa.
3. Either of C, D or E, but not more than one of them must be selected in the team.
4. If the team size is 7, one of J or I should be in the team. They are not selected in a team of any other size.
5. If the team size is 6, neither K nor L should be in the team.
6. M can be selected only if A and B are selected for the team, but not vice-versa.
7. There are 15 players (from A to O) in the squad.

Q1) In how many ways can a team of 5 be formed?

1) 120
2) 126
3) 130
4) None of these

Q2) In how many ways can a team of 6 be formed if A is not selected?

1) 6
2) 15
3) 30
4) None of these

SET 59

Judgments of aesthetic value rely on our ability to discriminate at a sensory level. Aesthetics examines our affective domain response to an object or phenomenon. Immanuel Kant, writing in 1790, observes of a man "If he says that canary wine is agreeable he is quite content if someone else corrects his terms and reminds him to say instead: It is agreeable to me," because "Everyone has his own (sense of) taste". The case of "beauty" is different from mere "agreeableness" because, "If he proclaims something to be beautiful, then he requires the same liking from others; he then judges not just for himself but for everyone, and speaks of beauty as if it were a property of things."

Aesthetic judgments may be culturally conditioned to some extent. Victorians in Britain often saw African sculpture as ugly, but just a few decades later, Edwardian audiences saw the same sculptures as being beautiful. The Abuse of Beauty, Evaluations of beauty may well be linked to desirability, perhaps even to sexual desirability. Thus, judgments of aesthetic value can become linked to judgments of economic, political, or moral value. We might judge a Lamborghini to be beautiful partly because it is desirable as a status symbol, or we might judge it to be repulsive partly because it signifies for us over-consumption and offends our political or moral values.

Anthropology, especially the savanna hypothesis proposed by Gordon Orians and others, predicts that some of the positive aesthetics that people have are based on innate knowledge of productive human habitats. It had been shown that people prefer and feel happier looking at trees with spreading forms much more than looking at trees with other forms, or non-tree objects; also Bright green colors, linked with healthy plants with good nutrient qualities, were more calming than other tree colors, including less bright greens and oranges.

Q1)According to the author the contextual aspect of beauty, as mentioned in paragraph 2, is reflected by:

1) Its objectivity and universality.
2) Mankind's innate qualities.
3) Its linkages with value judgments.
4) Its desirability as a status symbol.

Q2)Aesthetics, from an anthropological perspective, tends to reflect:

1) An innate preference for certain colours.
2) An instinctive utilitarian outlook.
3) An instinctive ability to discriminate shapes.
4) An innate sense of intellectual superiority.

Q3)Beauty as a 'property of things' implies:

1) Individualistic interpretation of the nature of things.
2) The antithetical nature of beauty and 'agreeableness.'
3) An element of commonality and objectivity in the evaluation
of things.
4) An innate sense of taste.

1!+2!...........+100!/720=...............(remainder??)

expanding all

1+2+6+24+120+720+720x7+720x7x8.........so rest are 720 multiple

so

1+2+6+24+120=153/720=153 rem
