If x = 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 , then x divided
If p and p 3 are of opposite signs, then p(p 3) < 0 by 70 leaves a remainder of
Hence, 0 < p < 3. (1) 0 (2) 1

Sol. x = 163 + 173 + 183 + 193 is an even number

colour except that of the preceding strip i.e. 3. Therefore, 2 divides x.
Hence, the number of ways = 4 35 = 12 81. a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 ab + b2 )

In the right ABC above, x = 152 + 82 = 17 .
Let the roots of the above cubic equation be

permissible values of x are: 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22.
Thus, the minimum possible value of b will be equal From Case I and II, x can take 10 values.

while distance travelled by Kiranmala = 60t
Hence, Coomar family has the lowest average income.

45. 3 As the dip will be less in case a faculty retired
compared to that when a new faculty joined in, so the
new faculty member joined the Finance area in 2002.

So the new 25 year old faculty joined in 2001. Hence,
