Genuine Query: How do you guys manage to chat with each other for so long without knowing them?
Maybe we manage it coz we don't know each other :P

I have not seen any CAT paper. Anyways, could you please explain me the solution? I've come across a property of prime number in a book by K. Kundan and P. Pandey that for a prime number p, p-1! + 1 is divisible by p.
The expression simplifies to 11!+1 which gives a remainder of 1.

Nice reason though. The other could be that you guys could have been well prepared so aren't bothered about preparation and revision and all I'm sure.

@aimingCAT12 Another question....
Next week will mark the 35th anniversary of the National Cancer Act, the
opening salvo of the US government's battle to eradicate cancer. In those
35 years, the US has spent tens of billions of dollars on cancer research,
and we are frequently told that this has won us significant progress. Look
at the data, though and the picture is more confusing. The number
diagnosed each year as having cancer is nearly double what it was 35
years ago. __________
(1) Are we really winning the war on cancer?
(2) Over the past 35 years, the death rate from most of the metastatic cancers
has remained unchanged.
(3) The natural history of the disease has not changed at all: the time of death
is typically the same as it would have been had the disease been diagnosed later.
(4) It is also important to examine what exactly the term 'cancer' is being used
to describe.
(5) It is only when cancer is diagnosed at an early stage that cure is possible.

Thats wrong for me. Is (2!+1) = 5 divisible by 3?

Galat jawaab!!

@ad18 Yeah. Though the condition has not been limited there, but it is true for prime numbers >= 5.

Sahi jawaab.The para states that the data is confusing.And only option 1 reiterates the confusion.The rest of them introduce a new idea.@aimingCAT12
16385
@fisherking, @ad18 Yeah. And I stupid tried to justify the property. This is what happens when its 20 days to CAT and you start preparing for CAT.

I'm sorry. I thought it (n-1)! - 1. Works perfectly for every number.

Statement 2 just continues the para instead of ending it.Its ok to end the para with a question.The confusion generated by the data is the main point of para.Hence,1 connects with that confusion and asks 'Are we really winning'??
