that reminds me... will 0.123456789101112131... be a rational number since we always know what the next digit/no. is ?!
my take :
option d) both 1 and 2..
if correct then will post the approach...
:o
Hi ...
its correct..tell me the procedure
take the terms to be a, a+d, a+2d ................... a+19d.(if n = 20)
1st series will contain a, a+3d, a+6d........a+15d, a+18d
sum of the series 7a+63d
which is divisible by 7 and will give a+9d, which is part of our series..
similarly 2nd series sum = 7a+ 70d, which will give a+10d..satisfies the condition..
now check for 26 terms also you will see that it is also satisfying the condition..
this was my approach hope u got it...
:-P
progessions looks like a favort in CAT, ain't it?
Al d'Best Saysi suppose the best approach would be to take the first 2 or 3 terms and then look at the kind of result?
brother plz use the quote button to reply..as it will be much more clear that u are replying to which post...
divishth Says1972 is the Asnwer
pls explain this
akshbhardwaj Sayspls explain this
divishth Says1972 is the Asnwer
Please help me in solve this:
The series of numbers (1,1/2,1/3,....1/1972) is taken.Now 2 numbers are taken from this series say x,y.Then the operation x+y+x.y is performed to get a consolidated no.the process is repeated.what will be the value of the set after all the numbers are consolidated into one number.
a)1970
b)1971
c)1972
d)none
Take x = 1,y=1/2..Value = x+y+xy = 1+1/2 + 1/2 = 2
Take x=2 and y=1/3...Value = x+y+xy = 2+1/3 + 2/3 = 3
Take x=3 and y=1/4..value = 3+1/4 + 3/4 = 4
...Similarly last term would be 1971 + 1/1972 + 1971/1972 = 1972

Please give detiled solutions
1. Find the value of s=1-2-3+2-3-4+3-4-5+.......+ upto 100 terms??
S Is forming a pattern n-(n+1)-(n+2)
If we start from 1-2-3 it gives -4
2-3-4=-5------------------------------------till 33-34-35( 33*3=99 terms in all) in the end only 34 will be left
-4-5-6-7-------- -35+ 34
-(4+5+6+7------+35) +34
-(33(2*4+(33-1)1)/2+34
=-660+34=-626

don't u think that the sum of (33-34-35) should be 36 and it should be like this -(4+5+6+7+.........+36)+34 bt ans will come out of the options.....bt still...........

a)5
b)9
c)6
d)3
The Euler number of 11 is 10,
consider 72^87, the last digit of the expansion of 72^87 will be 8
so finally we get to find the remainder of
remainder when 30^8 is divided by 11
=> 8^8 divided by 11
=> 64*64*64*64* by 11
=>9*9*9*9 by 11
=> 81*81 by 11
=> 4*4 by 11
=> remainder = 5

If you've more than one question, post all of them in one post and don't unnecessary make separate posts for separate questions. Puys can still answer individual questions from one post.

32 * (1010101 * * 100000001 * 10000000000000001 * 1000...001(31times))
So final Term Would be 32323232.....3232 (32 would be 32 times)
So Sum of digits = 3*32 + 2*32=160

E(153) = 96
128^1000 mod 153 = 128^40 mod 153
2^280 mod 153
2^280 mod 3 = 1
2^280 mod 17 = 2^8 mod 17 = 1
3a + 1 = 3b+1 = 17c+1
