find the sum of the series 1.2+ 2. 2^2 + 3. 2^2 +...............+ 100. 2^100

  1. 100. 2^101 + 2
  2. 99 . 2^100 + 2
  3. 99 . 2^101 + 2
  4. 100. 2^100 + 2
  5. none of these

S = 1.2 + 2.2^2 +3.2^3.............100.2^100
2S = 1.2^2+2.2^3+...........+99.2^100 + 100.2^101

subtracting eqn 1 from 2=>

S = -(1.2 + 1.2^2 + ..............+2^100) + 100.2^101

= -1. 2(2^100 -1) + 100. 2^101 (G.P.)

= 99.2^101 + 2
S = 1.2 + 2.2^2 +3.2^3.............100.2^100
2S = 1.2^2+2.2^3+...........+99.2^100 + 100.2^101

subtracting eqn 1 from 2=>

S = -(1.2 + 1.2^2 + ..............+2^100) + 100.2^101

= -1. 2(2^100 -1) + 100. 2^101 (G.P.)

= 99.2^101 + 2


estallar bhai dusri side bhi toh -ve hoga???

Can anybody help in this question
what are the last 2 digits in the multiplication of 35.34.33.32.31.30.29.28.27.26 ???


i tried the approach 35!/26! but not getting the answer

Thanx in advance

Also can somebody tell me the method of finding the last 2 digits of a factorial??

ma take- 60

My take on this is 60.
soln.

divide the given series by 100(since last two digits have been asked)
=>(35.34.33.32.31.30.29.28.27.26)/100
=>(35.34.33.32.31.6.29.28.27.26)/20 (30/100 = 6/20, we can further duduce it to get the denominator 10, we divide the denominator seeing the no.s in numerator, since the no.s in numerator are greater then 10 as well as 20, we can take either, I have deduced the numerator to 20)
=>(15.14.13.12.11.6.9.8.7.6)/20 (numerator are the remainders obtained after dividing each numerator by 20 )
=>(90.98.104.108.66)/20 (multiply any two of numerator here i multiplied 15*6, 14*7, 13*8, 12*9, 11*6)
=> (10*18*4*8*6)/20
=>(180*32*6)/20
=>12*6/20
=>72/20= 12(remainder)
again since we had deduced the denominator to 20 we multiply 5 to the obtained remainder.
Hence the answer is 12*5=60.

Hello everyone , one of my friends a TIME student told me to solve this type of question
Q)Find the remainder when 123456789.....40 is divided by 36

He(my friend) told me that 36=9x4 therefore first find remainder when 123456...40 is divided by 9 which is found by diving sum of digits 244/9 => remainder = 1
Then find remainder when 123456...40 is divided by 4 which is remainder of dividing last 2 digits by 4 ; 12/4=> remainder= 0
Now to find the final remainder we find the lowest multiple of 4 which will give remainder 1 with 9 and such a no. can be 28 ; Hence final remainder answer is 28

But now if this approach is applied to one of the ARUN SHARMA question then the answer is not coming correct
The question is as follows
Q) Find the remainder when 123456789...4950 is divided by 16

Now my approach is 16=2x8 , Dividing 1234567...4950 by 2 will yield remainder=0
Dividing 123456...4950 by 8 which is found by dividing last 3 digits i.e 950/8 => remainder = 6
Now to find the final remainder we need to find lowest multiple of 2 that gives remainder 6 with 8 which will be 2x7 =14 as 14/8 => remainder = 6 ; the final answer by TIME's approach should be 14 BUT THE ANSWER IS GIVEN AS 6 IN THE ARUN SHARMA BOOK .
CAN SOMEBODY HELP??????????????????

When you need to check reminder by 16...
just check last 4 digits are divisible by 2 or not....
(abcdef...)/2^n
then just divide last n digits of the number by 2...and the reminder which you will get will be the reminder of the whole number...

also that approach(T.I.M.E) is known as Chinese reminder theorem...it is applied in a bit different manner

Can you explain it in some detail like what should be done according to u "then just divide last n digits of the number by "

whether rem (4950/2) or rem(50/2) ?????????????????????

OK....
for ex-
1.)find reminder when 52687456987456321456322/2048,1024,512,248,128,64,32,16,8,4,2(by any of these numbers)
then for 2=we check whether last digit of that number is divisible by 2 or not
for 4=we will check 22 is divisible by 4 or not because 4=2^2 so we will check last 2 digits
for 8=check 322/8 or not because 8=2^3..
for 16=check 6322/16 or not because 16=2^4...
similarly you can proceed for all the powers of 2...
i hope this will help...
:cheers:

Do u want to say that the answer is rem(950/2^3)= 6 ???

hello puys..wud b appearing for cat for the first time...solving arun sharma of quant...but i usually get stuck sometimes...just wanted to know that is solving arun sharma enuf for cat or shud i go for some other buks 2....:)

dude Arun Sharma is more than enuf but it has its own share of misprints and errors so u will need to discuss them here, unfortunately cat aspirants have no option other than arun sharma as it is only the most comprehensive book for quant.
All the best!

thnks fr d reply...just wnted 2 knw 1 more thing....taking a look at previous year papers i realized that profit and loss,interest are not the imp. topics fr cat( from quant point of view) should i hone my skills in these topics or shud i focus on imp. topics of cat.....

Hey Guys please help me out in solving the following question

Which one of the following is true
a) log 275 to the base 17 = log 375 to base 19
b) log 275 to the base 17 c)log 275 to the base 17 > log 375 to base 19
d)cannot be determined
e)none of these

a) log 275 to the base 17 = log 375 to base 19
b) log 275 to the base 17 c)log 275 to the base 17 > log 375 to base 19
d)cannot be determined
e)none of these



17^2 = 289 Which means that log 275 to the base 17 would be less than 2
19^2 = 361 Which means that log 275 to the base 17 would be greater than 2

So, option b is the correct answer.

d)cannot be determined
e)none of these

Opton : B

As, log 19 / log 17 >log 375 / log 275

so, log 275 (base 17 )

i got stuck...plz help me out....
Q-two pipes A and B can fill up half full tank in 1.2 hours.the tank was initially empty.pipe B was kept open for half the time required by pipe A to fill the tank by itself.then pipe A was kept open for as much required by pipe B to fill up 1/3 of the tank itself.it was found that the tank was 5/6 full.the least time in which any of the pipe can fill the tank fully is
a) 4.8 h
b) 4 hours
c) 3.6 hours
