b ?

general term = n*2^(n - 1)
for n = 1....general term = 1

now check with options......b satisfies as general term = (n - 1)*2^(n) + 1

blue colored part. wasn't that obvious? the parts are shown to make calculations easy. pi/4*(1/2)^2 + 1/4 - pi/4*(1/2)^2 = 1/4.
where does 1/4 come from?
dont mind explaining fully

A) 100.2^100
B) 99.2^100 + 1
C) 99.2^99 + 99
D) 2^100
arithmatico geometric series
s=1+ 2.2^1 + 3.2^2 + 4.2^3 + ... + 100.2^99
2s=(-1-2^1........-2^99)+100.2^100
solving we get
99*2^100+1

yes sure.
see figure. i have added area numbers.

area 1 + area 2 will give u the required answer.

area 1 is basically quarter circle with radiius 1/2
(pi*(1/2)^2)/4

area 2 = area of the quarter part of square - quarter circle
=1/4 - (pi*(1/2)^2)/4

@abhishek.2011 : yaar approach bata please...

Please explain how did u derived "2s=(-1-2^1........-2^99)+100.2^100"

second ques got 67 as remainder.
@mihir66
s = 1 + 2*2^1 + 2*2^2 + ..............+ 100*2^99...i

now multiply this eqn by 2

2s = 1*2 + 2*2^2 + 2*2^3 + ..........+ 99*2^99 + 100*2^100...ii

i - ii

s - 2s = 1 + 2^1 + 2^2 +..........+ 2^99 - 100*2^100
-s = 1( 2^100 - 1)/(2 - 1) - 100*2^100
s = 100*2^100 - (2^100 - 1)
s = 100*2^100 - 2^100 + 1
s = 2^100*(100 - 1) + 1
s = 99*2^100 + 1


Lagaan is levied on the 60% of the cultivated land. The revenue dept collected total Rs. 384000 through the lagaan from the village of Sukhiya. Sukhiya, a very rich farmer, paid only Rs. 480 as lagaan. What is the percentage of total land of Sukhiya over the total taxable land of the village?

@mihir66 :
s=1+ 2.2^1 + 3.2^2 + 4.2^3 + ... + 100.2^99
2s= 1.2 + 2.2^2 + 3.2^3 + ................ + 99.2^99 + 100.2^100
Subtracting we get
-s=1+ 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3 + ...... + 2^99 - 100.2^100
s=100.2^100 - (1 + 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3 + ... +2^99)
s=100.2^100 - (2^100 - 1)
s=99.2^100 + 1
