How many positive integers can be expressed as a product...

[sonur]

• How many positive integers can be expressed as a product of 2 or more of the prime numbers 5,7,11,13 if no one product is to use the same prime number more than once ?

· 8

· 9

· 10

· 11

· 12



Ans - 11

• If 72.42 = k (24 + n/100), k and n are positive integers, n < 100, then k + n =?

· 17

· 16

· 15

· 14

· 13

Ans – 17

• S = 1 –1/2+ 1/3 – 1/4 + 1/5 –1/6 +1/7-1/8+1/9-1/10

A B

S 0.5



Ans – A

• It takes 60 sq tiles,2 feet on each side to cover a certain rectangular floor completely, without overlap.

A B

(No of sq tiles,1 foot on each side that 120

It would take to completely cover floor, no overlap)



Ans - A

1.Take all possible combinations:
5*7, 5*7*11 , 5*7*13 , 5*7*11*13 , 7*11 , 7*13, 11*5 , 11*13 , 13*5 , 13*5*11 , 13*7*11

Totally 11.

2.Dunno

3.Considering the 1st 2 terms,S=1-1/2 gives you 0.5 ... So, with that lets calculate the rest...
Group the terms, (1/3-1/4)+(1/5-1/6)+(1/7-1/8)+(1/9-1/10)
So,by LCM , we get 1/12 + 1/30 + 1/56 + 1/90 ..... All are positive terms that give rise to a positive number for sure..

So, obviously 0.5+ (positive term) will give answer greater than 0.5
Answer is A

4. Area= a*a
A. Area=2*2=4
60 sq tiles =60*4=240 sq.feet is the area(not overlapped)
B. Area=1*1=1
120 sq tiles=120*1 =120 sq.feet is the area(not overlapped)

A has greater area
So answer is A. I m a bit doubtful with this answer...
Please do give me the answers

You got all of them rite except second problem ....wow!! keep it up ..hope you ace the same way in your test. When is your test ??

[manwiththemission2005]

Thanks a lot. I m taking the test on October 24. It feels good when i get these answers right although i didn't have any idea on the 2nd question.
I would like to know the answer for the 2nd question.
Anyone please try to answer it.
Thanks

answer for 2nd prob =17..good luck !!

If 72.42=k[24+(n/100)] and if n and k are positive integers, then k+n=?

17

16

15

14

13
72.42 = 24k + nk/100
72 + 42/100 = 24k + nk/100

72 = 24k ....... k = 3
42 = nk ......... n = 14
n + k = 17

[vit11]

1) 4C4 + 4C3 + 4C2 = 1+4+6 = 11

2) 72.42 = k(24+n/100) = 24k + nk/100
=> 7242 = 2400k + nk
=> 7242/k = 2400+n
2400*4 = 9600 > 7242 so k<=3 (k=1|2|3)
=> 7242/k = 7242|3621|2414
since n<100 then 2400+n < 2500
this leaves only 2414 with k=3, n=14 and n+k=17

3) Explanation by mission man is excellent.

4) Area of a single 2-by-2 tile = 4 sq.feet.
Floor area = 60*4 = 240 sq.feet.
Area of a single 1-by-1 tile = 1 sq.feet.
Number of such tiles required for covering the floor = 240/1 = 240 > 120 (A).
