A Robot began moving from point A in a straight line at 6 p.m with an initial speed of 3 m/s. One second later , the speed of the Robot became equal to 4 m/s. Find the acceleration of the Robot at the end of the 2nd second if its speed changes by the law s(t) = a(t)^2 + 2t + b.
The distance of robot from pint A after 6 seconds will be(assuming that for every second the robot travels at a contaant speed equals to its startingspeed for that secondand my accelearation occurs at the start of next second.

At a particular time in the twenty first century there were 7 bowlers in the Indian cricket team's list of 16 players shortlisted to play in the next world cup. Statisticians discovered that if you looked at the no. of wickets taken by any of the 7 bowlers of the team, the number of wickets taken by them had a strange property. The nos. were such that for any team selection of 11 players (having 1 to 7 bowlers) by using the no. of wickets taken by each bowler and attaching coefficients of +1, 0 or -1 to each value available and adding the resultant values, any no. from 1 to 1093, both included could be formed. If we denote W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6 and W7 as the seven values in the ascending order what could be the ans to the foll. ques.
