For k = 2.4 and r = 4, k/r = 0.6 =3/5For k = 10/3 and r = 2, k/r = 5/3 Team BV - Vineet
missed to visualize..thanks sir

k^+47 = 16k-16 or,


k^2-16k+63 = 0

16+_/ 256 - 252 / 2 = 16+2/2 , 16-2/2 => 9+7 = 16 (a)??

K takes value 7, 9, 1, 2
answer: d) 19

K = 0, 1, 2, 7 and 9
Sum = 19.. ?

possible values are -> 0+9+7+1+2=19

@sowmyanarayanan
@Narci

what about k = 2 ??

roots = 9 ,7 + 1+2 (satisfying the condition manually) = 19

Posted very late : 19 should be the ans

edited... had missed 1..
@Subhashdec2 said:
is it 19?
Yes it is . Can you please post approach >

k = 9,7,2,1
9+7+2+1=19
my take 19

19 is correct indeed and the values of k are 9,7,2, and 1

a2 -1 + a2 + a4 - 1 + a4 +..... = 137
2 ( a2 + a4 + a6 ... + a98 ) = 137 + 49 = 186
( a2 + a4 + ... + a98 ) = 93 ?

Equating the powers k^2 + 47 = 16k – 16, we get
k = 9 or 7.
Now equating the base k^2 – 2k to 0,1 and –1.
k^2 – 2k = 0⇒ k = 2.
k^2 – 2k = 1⇒ no integer solution possible.
k^2 – 2k = –1⇒ k = 1.
We get the values of k as 1, 2, 7 and 9.
So the sum of all the possible values of k is 19.

a1, a2, a2-a1, -a1, -a2, -(a2-a1) ...repeating...

Sum of 6 = 0

Hence, 2a2 - a1 = 1985
a2 - a1 = 1492

a2 = 493 and a1 = -999

Sum till 2001 terms = 2a2 = 986 ?
