Q1. The last digit of 9! + 39966 is

A 3

B 9

C 7

D 1
Solution:

Now, last digit of 9! is 0.

Now, 32 ≡ – 1 ( mod 10)
⇒ (32) 4983 ≡ (–1)4983 (mod 10)
⇒39966 ≡ – 1 (mod 10)
⇒ 39966 ≡ 9 (mod 10)

Q2. The number of solutions of the equation 6m + 15n = 8 in

integers m and n are

A zero

B one

C More than one but finitely many

D Infinitely many
Solution:

The equation is, 6m + 15 n = 8

Dividing the equation by 3 we get.
0 + 0 ≡ 2 (mod 3)
Which is impossible
No solution.

Q3. Let x, y, z be positive real numbers. If the equation

x2 + y2 + z2= (xy + yz + zx) sin 𝛉
has a solution for 𝛉, then x, y and z must satisfy

A x=y=z

B x2 + y2 + z2 ≤ 1

C xy + yz + zx = 1

D 0 < x, y, z ≤ 1

Q3. Let x, y, z be positive real numbers. If the equation

x2 + y2 + z2= (xy + yz + zx) sin 𝛉
has a solution for 𝛉, then x, y and z must satisfy

A x=y=z

B x2 + y2 + z2 ≤ 1

C xy + yz + zx = 1

D 0 < x, y, z ≤ 1
Solution:
Now, (x – y)2 ≥ 0
⇒ x2 + y2 ≥ 2xy
Similarly, y2 + z2 ≥ 2yz and z2 + x2 ≥ 2zx
Adding the three inequalities
x2 + y2 + z2 ≥ xy + yz + zx
(x2 + y2 + z2 )/(xy + yz + zx) ≥ 1
implying sinθ ≥ 1
The equation holds only if sinθ = 1
i.e. x2 + y2 + z2 = xy + yz + zx
The equality holds only if x = y = z.

b, c and d are real numbers with a > 0. If f is strictly
increasing, the the function g(x) = f’(x) – f” (x) + f’” (x) is

A zero for some x ∈ R

B positive for all x ∈ R

C negative for all x ∈

R
D strictly increasing
Solution:
So, g(x) = 3ax2 + 2bx + c – 6ax – 2b + 6a
Let us put x = –r when r is real and positive.
g(–r) = 3ar2 – 2b(r + 1) + c + 6ar + 6a
Now, f’(x) = 3ax2 + 2bx + c
f’(–(r + 1)) > 0 (As f(x) is increasing)
3a (r + 1)2 – 2b (r + 1) + c > 0…(A)
Now, g(–r) = 3a (r2 + 2r + 1) – 2b (r + 1) + c + 3a
= 3a (r + 1)2 – 2b (r + 1) + c + 3a > 0 (As a > 0 and from (A))
Now, let r > 0
g(r) = 3ar2 – 6ar + 3a + 2b (r – 1) + c + 3a
= 3a (r – 1)2 + 2b (r – 1) + c + 6a
Now, f’(r – 1) = 3a (r – 1)2 + 2b (r – 1) + c.. (B)
⇒ g(r) > 0 (As a > 0 and from (B))
Now, g(0) = 6a – 2b + c
Now, f’(–1) = 3a – 2b + c > 0….(C)
⇒ g(0) = 3a – 2b + c + 3a > 0 (As a > 0 and from (C) )
g(x) is always positive.

Q9. Let N be a number such that whenever you take N

consecutive positive integers at least one of them is
coprime to 374. What is the smallest possible value of N?

A 4

B 5

C 6

D 7
Solution:
374 = 2 × 11 × 17
Now, if we take, 119, 120 and 121 then no one is coprime to 374.
If we take 118, 119, 120, 121, 122 then also no one is coprime to
374. Because there are 2 odd prime factors of 374 and
consecutive odd numbers are divisible by 11 and 17.
So, if we take 3 odd numbers then one must be coprime to 373.
So, if we take, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122 then 117 is coprime to
374. Also if we take 118, 119, 120, 121, 122 , 123 then 123 is
coprime to 371.

Q9. Let a1,.....,an be arbitrary integers and suppose b1,....,bn

is a permutation of the ai’s. Then the value of
|a1 – b1| + |a2 – b2| +.....+|an – bn|

A Is less than or equal to n

B Can be any arbitrary positive integer

C Can be any even nonnegative integer

D Must be 0.
Solution:
Let, (a1, a2,....,an) = (1, 2, ….,n) and (b1, b2,....,bn) = (n, n –1, ….,1)
Now, |a1 – b1| + |a2 – b2| +.....+ |an – bn| = (n – 1) + (n – 2) +.....> n
Option: (a) and (d) cannot be true.
Let, (b1,b2 ,...., bn) = (2, 3, ….,n, 1)
Now, |a1 – b1| + |a2 – b2| +....+ |an – bn|
= 1 + 1 + 1….(n – 1) times + (n –1)
= 2(n – 1)
And in the first case |a1 – b1| + |a2 – b2| +....+ |an – bn|
> (n – 1) + (n – 2) + (n – 3) = 3 (n – 2)
Now, 3( n–2) > (n –1)
Option (b) cannot be true.
