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



i get you but as per the the book answer is 15 .

i get you but as per the the book answer is 15 .

abhi,our logic is right,and let me explain u if the initial price is 15,then the cost of 1 apple would be more than 1 ruppee,so mr x will not get anything in 1ruppee he saved even with discount n question has given that he get another one apple without discount.i believe it is a error in the book.so dont worry,there are lot of mistake in this book

LOD 3 NUMBER SYSTEM QUESTION 54 find the remainder when 50^51^52 is divided by 11. a)6 b)4 c)7 d)3... ans(a) PLEASE GIVE DETAILED ANSWER


50^51^52 is divided by 11
=>6^51^52 divided by 11
=>(3x2)^51^52 divided by 11
=>(3)^51^52 divided by 11 x (2)^51^52 divided by 11

now use format little theorem
from format little theorem wkt 3^10/11=1 and 2^10/11=1
51^52/10=1 so 51^52 can be put in the form 10k+1

so 3^(10k+1)/11 x 2^(10k+1)/11
3^10k=1 and 2^10k=1
so remainder is 3x2/11=>6
you can also find out the individual remainders.50 gives 6,51 gives 7 and 52 gives 8 as remainder when divided by 11.now 7^8=56 which gives 1 as remainder when divided by 11.Thus 6 is the remainder when divided by 11.

Question : (50^51^52 )/ 11


Step 1: 50/11 remainder = 6

Step 2: 6^51^52/11

Step 3 : Let x= 6^51/11 which is equal to (6*(6^50))/11

Step 4 : (2*3)^50/11 remainder is 1 {As 2^5/11 is -1 and 3^5/11 is 1}

Step 5 : so 6^51/11 which is (6*6^50)/11 has remainder 6

Step 6: 6^52/11 is 6*6^51/11 which is 6*6/11 which is 3

is it 2^(n-1) or (2^n)-1 ??????
dark_knight89 Says
can you please explain the format little theorem

If a and b are co-prime to each other and b is a prime number than a^(b-1)/b=1

ex: 32^60 divided by 31, here 32 and 31 are co-prime and 31 is a prime no, so u can apply format little theorem
32^30/31=1, therefore 32^60/31=1

For 30^72^87/7
2^72^87/7,
now from format little theorem u know that 2^6/7=1
72^87/6 = 0
so 72^87 =6k
2^6k/7=1
is it 2^(n-1) or (2^n)-1 ??????

Please help to solve the problem on Progressions:LODII
Q33.Find infinite some of series1/1 + 1/3 + 1/6 +1/10 +1/15.................

nth term of the series is given as 2/n(n+1).
Therefore we need to find sigma(2/n(n+1))=2sigma(1/n(n+1))
=2sigma(1/n-1/(n+1))
So, if u observe carefully all, terms will get canceled except for 1/1 and 1/k {k is the number of terms of series}. But here as the series is infinite, 1/n tends to zero.So, required sum is 2*(1/1)=2

Q33.Find infinite some of series1/1 + 1/3 + 1/6 +1/10 +1/15.................

here the denominator is increasing in terms of n(n+1)/2.
Consider so tn=2/n(n+1)
tn=2
t1=2
t2=2
t3=2
and so on
are u able to observe the trend? When u add to get the sum all the terms except 1/1 is getting canceled, so 2 is the sum...

How many 6-digit numbers have at least 1 even digit?

Permutations and combinations lod 2 problem no. 35

Please post detailed solution for this
Total Number of 6 digit numbers = 10^5 to 999999 =900000
Odd digits possible=1,3,5,7,9
Numbers without even digits=>Numbers with only odd digits= 5^6
So numbers with atleast 1 even digit = 900000 - 5^6 =900000-15625 = 884375

Find a number with 0 even digits.
u can fill the odd digits in 5x5x5x5x5x5
and total 6 digits no`s are 9x10x10x10x10x10
total 6 digit no-6 digit odd no will give u the answer that is

YES MATE.The basic thing here in this case is the remainder theorem.
you and i are doing just the same thing in the problem,but just in a different way.
