I have few queries on remainders : pg . 91..Q 11,15,16

1.What is the remainder when 123412341234..upto 400 digits is divided by 909?

2.What is the remainder when 971 (30^99+61^100)*1148^56 is divided by 31.

3.Remainder when 2^100 is divided by 101.

Please help

Ten books are arranged in a row on a bookshelf. A student has to select three out of these ten books
in such a way that no two books selected by him must have been lying adjacently. In how many
ways can he make the selection?

....please someone explain it in detail.


its same like placing of three books 7 books such no 2 from that 3 will come together

so, _b_b_b_b_b_b_b_

8 blank spaces 3 books to place

its 8C3=56

2. i think it will be zero as (30^99+61^100) will be divisible by 31.

3.is the answer 1??


will post the solution for 1 in a while...

yup..answer is 1 ..how did u get it ?

101 is prime
so E(101) = 100
and using Fermant's Law we have the remainder of M^(N-1) when divided by N, when N being prime is 1...
so 2^100/101 = 1

For question number 1...
12341234.. 400digits
each digit will come for 100 times.. (400/4)
so all we have to do is 100(1+2+3+4) = 100*10 = 1000/909 = 91
pls confirm

Two people, A & B , start from P & Q (distance = D) at the same time towards eachother. They meet at point R, which is at a dist of 0.4D from P. They continue to move to and fro between the two points. Find the distance from P at which the fourth meeting takes place.

a)0.8D
b)0.6D
c)0.3D
d)0.4D

Itz 0.8D...You can do it manual calculation

could u explain??
my method..
since they meet 0.4D at their first meet, the 1st person will travel 0.4D and 2nd 0.6D.. so ratio of their speed is 2:3... when they meet for 4th time, they together cover a distance of 4D.. so 1st person must have travelled 1.6D and 2nd person 2.4D.. so it is 0.4D from P.. where am i gng wrong???:shocked:

In an exam, 80% passed in Physics,70% in chemistry while 15% failed in both
subjects.325 passed in both the subjects. Find total nos of students who appeared
in the exam.

a) 500 b) 400 c) 300 d) 600

Plz give me a bit of explanation.

500??? i did back tracking which is advised in these type of questions!!!

You are correct bro.The only thing is that just you have to calculate reverse...
At first meet,
Time---------A----------B
1st min------0.2D-------0.7D
2ND min-----0.4D-------0.4D-----1st meet
3rd min------0.6D-------0.1D
4th min------0.8D-------0.2D
5th min------1.0D-------0.5D
6th min------0.8D-------0.8D-----2nd meet
7th min------0.6D-------0.9D
8th min------0.4D-------0.6D
9th min------0.2D-------0.3D
10th min-----0.0D-------0.0D-----3rd meet
11th min-----0.8D-------0.3D
12th min-----0.8D-------0.6D
13th min-----0.8D-------0.9D
14th min-----0.8D-------0.8D-----4th meet

there is another method i ll update that too....

a) 500 b) 400 c) 300 d) 600

Please give me a bit of explanation.




I am getting a)500

let total students be 100x.
then, 80x+70x-k = 100x-15x (k - Students who passed in both)
=> k =65x=325
=> x= 5

Use Venn Diagrams

solve it using venn diagrams

let students passing in only phy be a and only chem be b

and the total no of students be x

so .15x+(.8x-325)+(.7x-325)+325=x
solving you will get x=500
