we'll convert binary to decimal to find the sum-

7 digit no -> first digit will be always 1...remaining 6 places wil be filled by 3 1's and 3 0's...
so 2^6 will be repeated 6!/(3!*3!) ways
sum=2^6 *(6!/3!*3!)


now 6th digit- no of times 1 will be there

1 1 _ _ _ _ _

remaining blanks will be filled by 2 1's and 3 0's -> 5!(2!*3!) ways
sum = 2^5 * 5!/(2!*3!)

similarly for rest of terms....

so total sum =
2^6 (6!/3!*3!) + 5!/(2!*3!) (2^5+2^4+2^3+2^2+2^1+2^0)

= 1910

my take is 1910


hi abhishek i could not get the 1 in bold (P&C; ) can u elaborate

hey kinscool...here we have

1 _ _ _ _ _ _

as the case...
now these 6 places can be filled by....2^6 ways.....and can be arranged by 6! / (3! * 3!)...because of 3 1s and 3 0s...hope u get the concept.....
In an infinite G.P every term is 7 time of the sum of all terms that follow.
t1+t2=9. Find the sum..



let sum of all the terms following t2 = s2
and sum of all the terms following t1 = s1
According to the Q
=> t2 = 7*s2
so, s2 = t2/7 --(i)
similarly,
t1 = 7*s1
s1 = t2 + s2
also from (i)
s1 = t2 + t2/7 = (8*t2)/7
so t1 = 8*t2 --(ii)
given : t1 + t2 = 9
from (ii)
8*t2 + t2 = 9
=> t2 = 1
=> t1 = 8 --(iiia)
and s1 = 8/7 --(iiib)

sum of series = t1+ s1
from (iiia) and (iiib) we get
sum of series = 8 + 8/7 = 64/7 = Ans
..any further queries are most welcomed

what was wrong with my approach....i've posted few blocks earlier...just have a look.....
here we have
t1+t2 = 9
t3 = 7(t1+t2)
t4 = 7(t1+t2+t3) = 7*8(t1+t2)
t5 = 7(t1+t2+t3+t4) = 7*8^2*(t1+t2)
t6 = 7(t1+t2+t3+t4+t5) = 7*8^3(t1+t2)...and so on

so series becomes=>
(t1+t2) + (t3+t4+t5.....infinity)
(t1+t2) + 7
proceed.......

the bolden text above is not matching the requirements of the Q. have a re-look.

lemme know if you face any probs..
14)A quadratic with integral coefficients has two distinct positive integers
as roots, the sum of its coefficients is prime and it takes the value -55 for
some integer. The sum of the roots is
(a) 32 (b) 20 (c) 24 (d) none of the these
14)A quadratic with integral coefficients has two distinct positive integers
as roots, the sum of its coefficients is prime and it takes the value -55 for
some integer. The sum of the roots is
(a) 32 (b) 20 (c) 24 (d) none of the these

is the ans 24?
My approach...
for the sum of coeficients to be prime the roots shud be even:)
let the quadratic eqn be (x-a)(x-b) = 0
also given that for sum integer the value is -55 = -5 * 11
from the options let the roots be 20 n 4. we can see tht if we subsitute 9 we get (9-4)(9-20) = 5*-11 = -55
hence all conditions are satisfied here...
so the sum of the roots must be 20+4 = 24.
PS-Did a bit of hit n trial before taking the values:)
what is second digit (10s digit ) in 2^1001

Plz explain method of finding 10s digit for any given number..

the method of finding 10's digit is to divide the number by 100 and finding out the remainder
so here
rem(2^1001/100)
or rem(2x((2^10)^100))/100
or (2*(24^100))/100
or (2*(76^50))/100
now 76 ^n always results in last two digits being 76
so finally it will be
remainder of(2*76)/100
that is 52
got it??

no its not 24 shanks

suhansarkar Says
no its not 24 shanks

please chk my solution given above n tell me where i m goin wrong...the equantion satisfies all the given conditions...

sorry the last digit will be 5 as remainder is 52

solution??
where is it?
i can send you the one given in the resource form which i got it

sorry now i see it

suhansarkar Says
sorry now i see it

so pls tell me whr i m goin wrng?

hey i think the approach you took has some error coz see if we consider the option 20 and proceed in your way then also we can get a solution
like
(7-2)(7-11)
cant we?

but in this case the sum of coeficients is not a prime no. chk tht out its 10....for (x-2)(x-11)
here is the answer provided in the material
consider a,b as the roots of the equation where a,b are positive integers,
then clearly there is another equation with same sum of roots but product
of roots is ab+55.clealry if we take option a we can find (13,7) and(18,2)
so option b)

my mistake it was (7-2)(7-18 )
now sum is 17 a prime isnt it?

didnt get it...if the roots are 13 and 7, pls chk it the sum of coeficients is 72...so how can it be.

koool...in tht case even 20,4 is a case...:)
