 Short Hints

2
152) use tan 90 − x = cot x and then tan θ + cot θ = sin 2θ

154) ax + by = n if gcd(a, b) = 1 then the greatest n such that both (x, y)

are not positive is ab − b − a

10
155) C3 − 5.2 = 120 − 10 = 110

156)(r2 + 5r − 6)(r2 + 5r + 6)
= (r2 + 5r + 7 − 13)(r2 + 5r + 7 − 1)
= (−13)(−1) = 13

157) put x2 − 10x = y will reduce to a quadratic in y and we get finally

x = 13, −3 so positive x is 13

158) solution is finding the solns of a + c = b now b = 3 gives (2, 1), (1, 2).
b = 4 gives (3, 1), (1, 3) so 2 solution. then for each b we have solutions as
2(d 2b e−1) so summing we get 2+2+4+4+· · ·+2006+2006 = 2·1003·1004 =
2014024
√ √
√ ( bn−1 − an−1 )2
160) X = |bn −an | = | bn−1 +an−1
2
− a b
n−1 n−1 | = | 2
| ≤ | bn−1 −a
2
n−1
|
|b−a|
now use the inequality n times we get X ≤ 2n

161)can be easily proved take one vertex at origin other at (k,0) and third
2 tan θ
as (x,y) use the formula for tan 2θ = 1−tan 2θ

162) p2 + 3p − 1 = 6k + 3p = 3(2k + p) ( for all primes p ≥ 5

so cases remaining are p = 2, 3
clearly p = 2 gives p2 + 3p − 1 = 9
and p = 3 gives p2 + 3p − 1 = 17
so only prime is p = 3

163)At each step each ant can go three ways, so total no of ways 34 .34 = 81.81
now each ant can come back to original in 6 ways along one face ABCD be

10
the square, then ABCDA, ADCBA,ABABA,ADADA,ABCBA,ADCDA
now we have 3 faces so we get 6.3 = 18
same for the other ant with C as initial point so m/n = 18.18/81.81 = 4/81
m + n = 85

n 2
164) Tn = 7n−1
now Let S = 1 + 4/7 + 9/49 + 16/343 + ............
S/7 = 1/7 + 4/49 + 9/343 + ........
S − S/7 = 6S/7 = 1 + 3/7 + 5/49 + 7/343 + .............
6S/49 = 1/7 + 3/49 + 5/343 + ...........
6S/7 − 6S/49 = 36S/49 = 1 + 2/7 + 2/49 + 2/343 + .......
or, 36S/49 = 1 + 2(1/7 + 1/49 + 1/343 + ......) = 1 + 2(1/6) = 4/3

or, S = 49/27

165)If n girls know a certain boy, any one girl in the group would have
(n − 1) girl friends; this would imply that every girl (in the group) would
have to know at least n boys, so that they would know more boys than girls.
Now, if every girl knew the same boys, there would be n boys and n girls (the
minimum of boys). If there are girls that do not know each other through a
specific boy, there would be (n + m) boys, and n girls, withn + m > n .

166) Note that 127 is prime . now (x3 + y)(x3 − y) = 127.1 as x, y are
positive integers x3 + y = 127, x3 − y = 1 so we get one pair (4, 63)
2 m2 −m
167) let x = m+m 2
and y = 2
then clearly for each m we have one
solution. so infinite solutions

168) n=4k, n=(2k-1)+(2k+1); b) if n is the sum of m consecutive odd in-

tegers, m—n. as we are given that n is prime, we have m=n, so n is being
expressed as the sum of n consecutive odd integers. In this case, all primes
(except for 2) can be expressed as the sum of consecutive odd integers: 3=-
1+1+3, 5=-3+-1+1+3+5, etc. (follow the pattern); c)the sum of an odd
number of odd integers will be odd, thus it cannot :equiv:2 mod 4. So, we
have that the number of odd integers is even, meaning that the mean falls
right in between two terms of the sequence, i.e. it is even. However, the
sum of this arithmetic series will be the number of terms times the mean,
i.e. an even number of terms times an even mean will be :equiv:0 mod 4.

11
contradiction
So all three are correct

169)the only time in which one of the terms in the expansion of f(128) will be
diff. than in one of the terms of f(127) will be in the [N/1] term, and in any
subsequent terms of the form [N/d], where d—128. To see why, observe that
for any term of the form [N/k], k not dividing 128 and not equal to 1, 128 and
127 will have the same integer quotients upon division by k and thus that
term will be the same. Ok, finally, note that for each term of the form [N/d],
k—128, the difference between [128/d] and [127/d] will be 1, as [128/d] will
have exactly one more factor of d. So essentially what the question is asking
for is the number of divisors of 128, that is (7+1)=8

170) r(n,m)=n(n+1)m(m+1)/4. To see why, partition these rectangles up

according to their width, and assume that there are A rectangles that can
be formed from a 1*m column. Well then there will be n*A rectangles of
width 1, (n-1)*A rectangles of width 2, (n-2)*A rectangles of width 3 ... 1*A
rectangle of width n. When we add these up, we get n(n+1)A/2. Ok, now
we need to find A. We partition the rectangles that can be formed from a
1*m column similarly, except with respect to their length. There will be (in
a similar fashion) m rectangles of length 1, m-1 rectangles of length 2, ..., 1
rectangle of length m, i.e. A=m(m+1)/2. Putting all this together gives the
formula at the beginning.

171) on solving we get x=2,1 as roots so 2 solutions .

172) subtract the two equations gives 9p1 + 4p2 = 3p4 clearly 3 divides
p2 hence p2 = 3 this give 3p1 + 4 = p4 solving which gives (p1 , p4 ) =
(5, 19), (11, 37).. the second and further solutions wont work as it will lead
to negative value of p3 . hence only one set!
p.s: there is no further need but we can proceed to find p3 = 2 :)

174) Let H has p positive elements and n negative elements.then p + n =

2000 = s now p C3 .n +n C3 .p are the number of subsets of H with negative
product. further we get
pn 2
6
(p + n2 − 3p − 3n + 4) = pn6
((p + n)2 − 2pn − 3(p + n) + 4) = pn
6
(−2pn +
2
(s − 3s + 4)) let pn = x we get a quadratic in x we get x = 1039 or 961

12
175) x4 + 6x2 + 25 can be easily factorized as (x2 − 2x + 5)(x2 + 2x + 5)
so one of them is p(x) further investigation proves p(x) = x2 − 2x + 5

176) Suppose the teams are A and B. there are two favorable ways. All
from A or all from B. Trick here is to find the total no of ways which comes
out to be 8 C4 . I leave it to you to figure it out :)

177) 121 = 112 > 120 so the prime factors are 2, 3, 5, 7 which make the
composite numbers of A. By pigeon − hole principle there must be at max
4 such composites which will not be co-prime. So the required minimum k is 5

178) P (x) = a(4x − 1)(2x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 4)

179) let m2 + 25m + 19 = k 2 where k is a positive integer.

⇒ 4(m2 + 25m + 19) = 4k 2
⇒ 4m2 + 100m + 76 = r2 (r = 2k)
⇒ 4m2 + 100m + 76 + 549 = r2 + 549
⇒ (2m + 25)2 − r2 = 549
⇒ (2m + 25 + r)(2m + 25 − r) = 549 = 32 .61
solving we get m = 5, 34, 125

180) m + 5a + 7b = 84 and m + 7a + 10b = 114

gives 2a + 3b = 30
this gives
m + a + b = 24
so
9m + 23a + 30b = (m + 5a + 7b) + (m + 7a + 10b) + 7(m + a + b) + 2(2a + 3b) =
84 + 114 + 7 ∗ 24 + 2 ∗ 30 = 198 + 168 + 60 = 426

√
181) Any circle Ci will form a square of the side Ri so Oi C = √ 2Ri us-
ing this we can form a relation that 0i+1 C = Ri+1 + Ri + Oi ⇒ 2Ri+1 =
√
2Ri Ri+1 + Ri use this and sum of an infinite GP we get the answer in terms
of RN

182) solve for u, v, w we get u = −1/3, v = 2/3 and w = 5/3 gives

u + v + w = 2 and (1/u + 1/v + 1/w) = −9/10 and also use the condi-

tion of gp then (a − d)2 = (b − c)2 + (c − a)2 + (d − b)2 so the two equations
have reciprocal roots

183) Let ab + 14a

9b
= k where k is an integer
⇒ 9a2 + 14b2 = 9abk clearly 9 divides RHS and 9a2 so 9 divides b2 so b is of
the form 3m or 9t where gcd(m, 3) = 1 andgcd(t, 9) = 1 but if b = 9t , RHS
will be divisible by 81 and LHS by 9 so b = 3

184) b = 3 so we get that only 1, 2, 7, 14 i.e the divisors of 14 should di-

vide a else it would not divide 14b2 so a = 1, 2, 7, 14 hence 4 pairs

185)7x + 3y = 81, 3 divides RHS and 3y so 3 divides x. So we get x = 3, 6, 9

we need max x, so x = 9 which gives y = 6 so ratio is 3 : 2

186) series is just the sum of numbers whose reciprocals have only 2 and
3 as prime divisors. So sum = (1 + 1/2 + 1/4...)(1 + 1/3 + 1/9..) =
[1/(1 − 1/2)][1/(1 − 1/3)] = 3

187)Just prove which is larger?(4(m + n))( 1/3) or m( 1/3) + n( 1/3) (because

if we let m = 8, n = 7 we get our case) for positive reals m, n. Then let
m = a3 , n = b3 and try to see which is bigger. we will get x > y
 
a b c a(b+c) b(a+c) c(a+b)
188) b+c + a+c + a+b (a + b + c) = b+c
+ a+c
+ a+b
= a + b + c so
either the sum is −3 or 1

191)easy !

193) 15,2 easy!

194) we cannot comment anything specific by using either alone. If we use

both together, we look at this

14
If Kamla is worst player , the best player is female , but this defies other
condition that the best player and worst player are of same age

now if her brother is worst player best player is then her son. this means
katrina her son and her brother are of same age. not possible again

if her son is worst player, the best player is male so he must be katrina’s
brother
now if we assume that her son and her brother are of same age this can
happen.

=> option (D)

195) easy 3,5,7

196) p(i)p(j) is not a composite number

=> i2 − j 2 is a prime as i, j are positive integers and i > j, (i2 − j 2 ) can’t be
1
=> (i + j)(i − j) = prime so i − j = 1 let p be the prime so i = (p + 1)/2,
j = (p − 1)/2
clearly p is not 2 hence all p is odd
p(i) + p(j) = 80 + (p2 + 1)/2
now p2 = 6k + 1 ( can be easily proved) [ p(p − 1)(p + 1) is divisible by 6 now
p is a prime so p2 − 1 = 6k, p2 = 6k + 1, for any prime p greater than 3]
therefore p(i) + p(j) = 80 + (p2 + 1)/2 becomes
80 + (6k + 2)/2 = 81 + 3k = 3(27 + k)
so not a prime =¿ can be answered by using X

now, p(2i) + p(2j) is a composite number

4(i2 + j 2 + 20) is composite

now i and j can be anything

can’t make any conclusions

=> choice (A) is the right answer

197) Area = ∗ (AB).(AC).sinA => 2 = ∗ AB.2.sinA => ABsinA = 2.

But AB <= 2andsinA <= 1 => AB = 2.

15
=> choice (A) is the right answer
199) 8.3.3 and 6.6.2 so can’t say with X also can’t say with Y. But Y says
eldest so combining the two, we get eldest in case 1, so ages are 8,3,3. option
d
200) 15 = 11.2 − 7 so if we start the two timers together when the 7 minute
timer runs out, reverse it, now when the 11 minute timer runs out, the 7
minute timer will show 4, reverse it. we got 11+4 so A other two timers are
even and 15 is odd
