and the seventh term is 22?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5

Answer: b) 3

Solving: The formula for the nth term of an AP is given by tn = a + (n - 1)d, where a is
the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference. Substituting the given
values, we have 22 = 4 + (7 - 1)d. Solving this equation gives d = 3.

2. Find the sum of the arithmetic series 10 + 15 + 20 + ... + 100.

a) 780
b) 800
c) 820
d) 840

Answer: b) 800

Solving: The formula for the sum of an arithmetic series is given by Sn = (n/2)(a + l),
where n is the number of terms, a is the first term, and l is the last term. Substituting the
given values, we have Sn = (n/2)(10 + 100) = 55n. For this series, n = (100 - 10)/5 + 1 =
20. Thus, Sn = 55(20) = 1100, and the sum of the series is 800.

d) 1/(x - 1) + 2/(x - 2)

Answer: d) 1/(x - 1) + 2/(x - 2)

Solving: We need to decompose the given fraction into partial fractions. The denominator
factors into (x - 1)(x - 3). We can write (3x + 2)/(x^2 - 4x + 3) as A/(x - 1) + B/(x - 3). By
equating the numerators, we get 3x + 2 = A(x - 3) + B(x - 1). Expanding and comparing
coefficients, we find A = 1 and B = 2. Therefore, the partial fraction decomposition is 1/(x
- 1) + 2/(x - 3).

4. How many ways can the letters of the word "UNIVERSITY" be arranged?
a) 10!/(3!2!)
b) 10!/(3!3!)

d) 10!/(4!3!)

Answer: a) 10!/(3!2!)

Solving: The word "UNIVERSITY" contains 10 letters. However, the letters 'I' and 'U'
appear twice, so we divide by 2! for each of them. The remaining letters are all unique, so
we don't need to divide by any factorial. Therefore, the number of ways to arrange the
letters is 10!/(3!2!).

 Solving: The sum of the first n terms of a geometric progression is given by Sn = a(1 -
r^n) / (1 - r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. Substituting the given
values, we have Sn = 2(1 - 3^20) / (1 - 3) = (2/2)(1 - 3^20) / (1 - 3) = (1 - 3^20) / (1 - 3) =
(1 - 348,678) / (-2) = -347,677 / 2 = -173,838.5. However, since we are looking for the sum
of terms, the answer is positive, so the sum of the first 20 terms is 1,062,455.

case, a = 2, r = 4/2 = 2, and the last term tn = 256. We need to find the number of terms,
which can be calculated using the formula tn = a * r^(n - 1). Substituting the values, we
have 256 = 2 * 2^(n - 1), which simplifies to 128 = 2^(n - 1). Taking the logarithm of both
sides, we have log2(128) = n - 1. Simplifying, we get 7 = n - 1, and further simplifies to n
= 8. Now, substituting the values into the sum formula, we have S = 2(1 - 2^8) / (1 - 2) =
2(1 - 256) / (-1) = 2(-255) = -510. Therefore, the product of the series is -510.

corresponds to the fourth term in the pattern, the answer is 1.

94. Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {3, 4, 5, 6}. What is A ∪ B?

a) {1, 2, 3, 4}
b) {3, 4}
c) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
d) {5, 6}

Answer: c) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Solving: The union of two sets contains all the distinct elements from both sets. In this
case, A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

95. In a Venn diagram, the universal set U contains 1000 elements. Set A contains 400
elements, and set B contains 600 elements. If A ∩ B contains 200 elements, how many
elements are in A ∪ B?
a) 800
b) 1000
c) 1200
d) 1400

Answer: c) 1200
 Solving: The number of elements in the union of two sets is given by |A ∪ B| = |A| + |B|
- |A ∩ B|. Substituting the given values, we have |A ∪ B| = 400 + 600 - 200 = 800 + 200 =
1000. Therefore, there are 1000 elements in A ∪ B.

96. The length of the arc of a circle with radius 8 and central angle π/2 is:
a) 4π
b) 8π
c) 12π
d) 16π

Answer: b) 8π

Solving:

The length of the arc of a circle is given by the formula L = rθ, where r is the radius and θ
is the central angle in radians. Substituting the given values, we have L = 8(π/2) = 4π.

97. Find the sum of the arithmetic series 3 + 7 + 11 + ... + 99.

a) 2520
b) 2640
c) 2760
d) 2880

Answer: a) 2520

Solving: The formula for the sum of an arithmetic series is Sn = (n/2)(a + tn), where Sn
is the sum, n is the number of terms, a is the first term, and tn is the last term. In this case,
a = 3, tn = 99, and the common difference d = 7 - 3 = 4. We need to find the number of
terms, which can be calculated using the formula tn = a + (n - 1)d. Substituting the values,
we have 99 = 3 + (n - 1)(4), which simplifies to 99 = 3 + 4n - 4, and further simplifies to
4n = 100. Dividing both sides by 4, we get n = 25. Now, substituting the values into the
sum formula, we have Sn = (25/2)(3 + 99) = 25(102) = 2550. Therefore, the sum of the
series is 2550.

98. Find the product of the geometric series 2 + 6 + 18 + ... + 4374.

a) 4372
b) 8748
 c) 17496
d) 34992

Answer: d) 34992

Solving: The formula for the sum of a geometric series is S = a(1 - r^n) / (1 - r), where
S is the sum, a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms. In this
case, a = 2, r = 6/2 = 3, and the last term tn = 4374. We need to find the number of terms,
which can be calculated using the formula tn = a * r^(n - 1). Substituting the values, we
have 4374 = 2 * 3^(n - 1). Dividing both sides by 2, we get 2187 = 3^(n - 1). Taking the
logarithm of both sides, we have log3(2187) = n - 1. Simplifying, we get 7 = n - 1, and
further simplifies to n = 8. Now, substituting the values into the sum formula, we have S =
2(1 - 3^8) / (1 - 3) = 2(-6561) / (-2) = 6561. Therefore, the product of the series is 6561.

99. Solve the equation 5x + 3 = 8.

a) x = 1
b) x = 2/5
c) x = 5
d) x = 1/5

Answer: b) x = 2/5

Solving: To solve the equation, we isolate x by subtracting 3 from both sides: 5x + 3 - 3

= 8 - 3. Simplifying, we have 5x =

5. Dividing both sides by 5, we get x = 1.

100. Evaluate the expression |18 - 30|.

a) -12
b) 12
c) 30
d) 18

Answer: b) 12

Solving: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. In
this case, |18 - 30| = |-12| = 12.
