Hey...
q1. U can do it using options.48 is the answer.
48 correct, 10 unattempted.22 wrong.
Also, u can cancel a few options 54 is not possible.
q64) 28383rd number is 3. brute force method buddy....


keep adding 9+180+2700+.... 6374 is the number , 3 comes in 28383rd position.
q67) Answer should be 8. 199/19 keeps the ratio minimum.
q85) answer is 76. This problem does not require any special method.
use normal remainder theorem. u wil get the answer in less than 3 mins.
find the 28383rd term of series 123456789101112...
a)3 b)4 c)9 d)7...
1-9 ==> 9

take it in equation as x-0.75y=34.5
another equation is x+y=80
solve these two equations...answer is 54....
I dont think we can use it like this.
For example if all questions except 54 were right then, 26 wrong u wil get -13 marks. not 0.75*26=18.5 marks.

b. 64
c. 63
d. None of these
Please help me how to solve this.
Thanks in advance
Arun sharma time speed distance lod 2 question number 14...
Thanks in advance
Do post the question....Many over here who doesn't have books can also solve it...


For the Q.92 on Page 47 of Arun Sharma (Quant)
How come I have a deviation here... :(
14(7!) + 14(13!)
---------------------
2(8!) - 21(6!)
which gives
7!(14+13x)
---------------
7!(16-3)
which in turn gives
(13+1)+13x
----------------
13
whose remainder would be 1.
Please correct me...

a)10 b)13 c)12 d)15
the answer is 12,since now he gets 1 dozen of apple for 11 rs,n initial price was rs12,he have 1 more ruppee to buy one more apple,since there is no discount given
Arun sharma time speed distance lod 2 question number 14...
Thanks in advance
answer is 6km/hr,u can get answer by using the fact that the time is inversely proportional to speed, so the time equation we get according to question is T/9=8/T+6,where Tis the time taken by rider A to reach meeting point,by solving this equation we get T=6.now using the statement that B traveled 12km more than A,so we have equation 12B-6A+12,A and B are speed of riders.now speed of A is 3/2 times of B,SO BY PUTTING IN ABOVE EQUATION YOU WILL GET THE ANSWER A=6KM/HR N B+4KM/HR
I dont think we can use it like this.
For example if all questions except 54 were right then, 26 wrong u wil get -13 marks. not 0.75*26=18.5 marks.
i think the answer will be 48
check out,the 2digits numbers that doesnt show this property are-- 10-20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,21,31,41,51,61,71,81,91 and 22,so total number of digit are 27.now the number of digits shows property given in question will be 90-27=63.so answer is option c
hey m also using this book... but m not able to solve some of them.. and also keys for all questions are not given.. wat to do !!!

LOD2 QUESTION 62:
M is a two digit number which has the property that:the product of factorial of its digit>sum of factorial of its digits.how many values of M exists? option A)56 B)64 C)63 D)none of these.........ans-(c)
Let the two digit number be ab. Therefore a!*b! > a!+b!
=> a!*b!-b! > a! => b!*(a!-1) > a! => b! > a!/(a!-1)
a & b are integers where a can have value in the range of 1 to 9 (tens place of two digit number so cannot have a value 0) and b in the range of 0 to 9
now look at R.H.S.:-
1) Denominator cannot be equal to zero hence a!-1 > 0 i.e. a!>1 i.e a >= 2
hence a can have any of the 8 values from 2 to 9
2) It represents a fraction whose numerator and denominator are successive numbers. So the values of fraction will always be less than 2 i.e. a!/(a!-1) So except for b = 0 or 1 all values of B satisfy the equation i.e. b can have any of the 8 values form 2 to 9
Hence the no of such 2 digit numbers = 8*8 = 64.
I cant think of any other combination thats possible. So no idea why the given answer is 63?
LOD2 QUESTION 66:
The series of numbers(1,1/2,1/3.....1/1972)is taken.now two number taken from this series(the first two)say x,y.then the operation x+y+xy is performed to get consolidated number.the process is repeated.what will be the value of set after all the numbers are consolidated into one number. OPTIONS A)1970 B)1971 C)1972 D)none of these............................ans(c)
given formula id x+y+xy. Let us select the first two numbers from the series: x =1 & y=1/2
hence x+y+xy = 1+1/2+1/2 = 2
Thus 2 will replace 1, 1/2 in the series. Noe let x = 2 and y = 1/3 (next number in series)
hence x+y+xy = 2+1/3+2/3 = 3
If we continue we see that each time the eq. x+y+xy yields a vale equal to the Denominator of the fraction replaced. Thus the answer is (c) 1972

how many integer values of x and y are such that 4x+7y=3,when modulus of x
x and y are integers such that x |x x x > -500)
thus -500 similarly -500 If we look at the equation 4x+7y = 3 we can easily come up with the values x = 6 and y = -3 that satisfies the equation.
Here is a very important property if we have one set of value (x1,y1) that satisfies equation ax+by = c then we can find other values as follows
x2 = x1+b ---------------- y2 = y1-a
x3 = x2+b ---------------- y3 = y2-a....
xn = xn-1 + b ---------------- yn = yn-1 - a
Similarly following values will also satisfy the equation:
x2 = x1-b ---------------- y2 = y1+a
x3 = x2-b ---------------- y3 = y2+a....
In short increase the values of x by the coefficient of y in the eq. (i.e. b) and decrease the value of y by coefficient of x ( i.e. a)
OR
decrease the values of x by the coefficient of y in the eq. (i.e. b) and increase the value of y by coefficient of x ( i.e. a)
thus using this we can say that values of x that will satisfy the eq. will be
( .....-8,-1,6,13.... ) and corresponding values of y satisfying the eq. will be (.....5,1,-3,-7,-11...)
The end values will be -500 to 500
Both of them form an AP series so. thus using number of terms equation for AP the answer can be found which comes out as d) 142
