total number of cases are 2^9
Center square will always be black. (rotation)

Then I considered the the squares edges, and on corners distinctively.
check the squares that are on edges.
All black =1 case
1 white, 3 black=4 cases.
2 white, 2 black=2 cases. (they have to be opposite. So, only 2)

Similar is the case with the corners
so favorable cases=7*7=49
what will be the next term in-32,14.23,7,5.2,12.03,?
what is the largest set of consecutive numbers that is equal to 1000 when expressed as the sum of all its terms? (Including nagetive terms)

-999 + (-998) + (-997)......... + 997 + 998 + 999 + 1000 = 1000

number of terms = 2000

What is the sum of the digits of the highest 2 digit prime number that divides 200C100.


Q2. Which of the following quadrilaterals can inscibe a circle?
1. AB= 15 BC =8 CD= 5 AD= 12
2. AB= 2.5 BC =8 CD= 9 AD= 4
3. AB= 56 BC =83 CD= 60 AD= 70
4. AB= 3 BC =4 CD= 5 AD= 5

I have 40 litres of 75% milk solution, i replace 4 litres solution with 4 litres of water, then i replace 5 litres solution with 5 litres of water,again i replace 6 litres solution with 6 litres of water.what is the concentration of milk in the resulting solution.

guess option 1

97 is wrong. expand 200c100 and you'll know why .

Option 1 for q2 is right.

1) 50.20%


2) 40
@sujamait 1 50.20%
2 40
Remainder of (173*261)/13 + (248*249*250)/15 =???

Difficulty: very difficult
q3: There are 7 different classes that are held in a day, to be held on 7 days of the week, and there 10 students in the class who attend(or not attend) any class in any way. How many different such student combinations are possible for the entire week.

Remainder of (51^203)/7 = ??

tmohan02: 4?

@tmohan02 4

51^203
converted to 2^203 7=6

euler of 7=6

2^(198+5)

remainder with 2^5
remainder with 32
=4

4..

4 for the previous one and the second one as well

4?

51^203 mod 7
= 2^203 mod 7
= 2^(3*67 + 2) mod 7
= 1 * 2^2 mod 7
= 4 mod 7
