Q.1

99899 = f (10)
f ( x ) = 9 x 4 + 9 x3 + 8 x 2 + 9 x + 9
Then f(10) = g (10) . h(10)

9 9
f ( x ) = x 2 9 x 2 + 9 x + 8 + +
x x 2

= x 2 9 x 2 +

Q. 2 The even digit are 2, 4, 6 and 8 only which can be placed at last
(right most) position.

So, for number having unit digit = 2

The possible numbers are

Similarly for unit digit 6
The number of numbers are
with starting digit 1

= 6+5+4+3+2+1

= 5+4+3+2+1

= 4+3+2+1

= 3+2+1

=2+1

=1

Total = 56
Similarly for unit digit 8
The number of numbers are
With starting digit

= 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1

= 7+6+5+4+3+2+1

= 6+5+4+3+2+1

= 5+4+3+2+1

= 4+3+2+1

= 3+2+1

168

= 2+1

= 1

Total = 120
So total possible number =

4+20+56+120 = 200 Ans

Q. 3 Each angle of a regular

Octagon =

1 x (8 2)x1800
8

0
For regular polygon = n ( n 2) x180

So, Each angle = 1350

Hence in figure,
The length of rectangular

= 2 2 +4+ 2 2

168

Hence area of rectangular

Figure =

4x 4 1 + 2

16 1 + 2

From the symmetry of the figure this area is equal to the area to
be calculated.
So desired are

16 1 + 2

) sq. units.

AB = DC
PC = BP
ABP PDC
AP = PD

PAD = PDA

Further , A + B + C = 180
A + 2C + C = 180
A+3

A

Q. 5 Let the number = N

So,

10a9 + 9

9 a8 + 8

8 a7 + 7

7 a6 + 6

2a1 +1

N + 1 = 10(a + 1)
9
= 2(a + 1)
1
i.e. N+1 is having 2,3,4,5, .. 10 as a factor
Taking LEM of 2,3,4,5,.. 10
= 2520
N = 2519

Q. 6 Suppose man went out at x minute past 3 pm and returned at 30+x

minute past 3 pm.
The angle between hands of clock at

Q.7

We have,
71 last digit 1

31 last digit 1

72 last digit 9

32 last digit 9

73 last digit 3

33 last digit 7

74 last digit 1

34 last digit 1

75 last digit 7

35 last digit 3

76 last digit 9

36 last digit 9

77 last digit 3

37 last digit 7

So Lat digit for

N1 71 = 7
N2 ( 7 ) 7 3
N3 ( ( 7 ) 7 ) 7

N4 ( 7 ) 3

So for

Hence for

Q. 8 Given that
a 2 + b2 + c2 = 1
a2 + b2 + c2 - (ab+bc+ca)
=

1 2
2 2
2 2
2
a 2ab + b + b 2bc + c + c 2ac + a

1
( a - b) 2 + ( b c ) 2 + ( c a ) 2

0 as a, b and c are real numbers.

168

 a 2 + b 2 + c2 ab + bc + ca
as a2 + b2 + c2 =1
so ab + bc + ca <1 [from (i)]

(ii)

Again (a2 + b2 + c2) +ab + bc + ca

= (a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca)
= (a + b + c)2
>0
ab + bc + ca > (a2 + b2 + c2)
ab + bc + ca > - x 1
>-

(iii)

(ii) and (iii) gives

- < ab + bc + ca < 1
