Q1. How many natural numbers less than 𝟏𝟎𝟖 are there, whose sum of digits equals 7?

Solution:-

We need to count the no. of solutions of 𝑥1 + 𝑥2 + ⋯ + 𝑥8 = 7

Which satisfies 0 ≤ 𝑥𝑖 ≤ 7, i= 1, 2, 3, …, 8 ……………….(1)

The number of solution of (1) is= coefficient of 𝑥 7 in 1 + 𝑥 + 𝑥 2 + ⋯ + 𝑥 7 8

Q4. Let X = {0, 1, 2, 3, …, 99}. For a, b in X, we define a * b to be the remainder obtained by


dividing the product ab by 100. For example, 9*18 = 62 and 7*5 = 35. Let x be an element in X. An
element y in X is called the inverse and write down their inverses.

Solution:- x*y = 1, ⟹ xy = 100k +1 for x = {0, 1, 2, …, 99}

(1) For x = 1, y = 1, x * y = 100k + where x = c

∴ Inverse of 1 is 1.

(2) There is no integral multiple of 2, 4, 5, 6 having 1 at unit place, ⟹ 2, 4, 5, 6 have no inverse.


(3) 3 and 7 can have inverses
(i) For x= 3 , 3 y = 1 i.e. 3y = 100k +1

The least k satisfying is 2, i.e. 3y = 201, y = 67 and the next k satisfying is 5, i.e. 3y = 167 but 167 ∉ X.

∴ 3 has only inverse = 67.

(ii) For x = 7, y = 1, i.e. 7y = 100k +1

The least k satisfying is Ʒ, i.e. 7y = 301, y 43

The next k satisfying is ID, i.e. 7y = 1001, y = 143 but 143 ∉ X.

∴ 7 has only inverse = 43.

Q6. Tangents are drawn to a given circle from a point on a given straight line, which does not meet
the given circle. Prove that the locus of the mid-point of the chord joining the two points of contact
of the tangents with circle is a circle.

Solution:- Slope of OM = k/h [taking centre (0, 0)]

∴Slope of AB = - h/k . [∵ AB ⏊ OM]



∴ Equation of AB, whose slope is –h/k and which passes through the point (h, k) is y –k = 𝑘 𝑥 − ℎ

or, ℎ𝑥 + 𝑘𝑦 = ℎ2 + 𝑘 2 ………… (1)

And equation of AP, the tangent is 𝑥𝑥1 + 𝑦𝑦1 = 𝑎2 ………… (2)

∴ From (1) and (2) , we have,

𝑥1 𝑦1 𝑎2
= = 2
ℎ 𝑘 ℎ + 𝑘2
ℎ𝑎 2 𝑘𝑎 2
∴ 𝑥1 = ℎ 2 +𝑘 2 , 𝑦1 = ℎ 2 +𝑘 2
.

∴ Put these values of 𝑥1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦1 𝑖𝑛 𝑙𝑥1 + 𝑚𝑦1 + 𝑛 = 0

ℎ𝑎 2 𝑘𝑎 2
We get, 𝑙. ℎ 2 +𝑘 2 + 𝑚. ℎ 2 +𝑘 2 + 𝑛 = 0

⟾ 𝑙ℎ𝑎2 + 𝑚𝑘𝑎2 + 𝑛 ℎ2 + 𝑘 2 = 0

𝑦 = 0.
