tobeiitian,
T5 = 24 * T3
=> 11C4 * x^4 = 24 * 11C2 * x^2
=> 11!/4!7! * x^2 = 24 * 11!/2!9!
=> x^2 = 24 * 4! 7! / 2! 9!
=> x^2 = 24 * 4*3 / 9*8 => x^2 = 4
=> x = 2 (assuming no calculation mistakes)

suppose X = 2^n + 3^n + 5^n
now for n = 1, X = 10 (not div by 4)
Now for any n > 1, 2^n is always div by 4.
3^n gives remainder 1 when n is even (if n is even, 3^n = 3^(2*n/2) = 9^n/2 = (8 + 1)^n/2 do binomial expansion n see all terms are div by 4 except last one.) 3^n gives remainder 3 when n is odd (if n is odd, 3^n = 3 * 3^(2*(n-1)/2) = 3 * 9^(n-1)/2 = 3 * (8 + 1)^(n-1)/2 do binomial expansion n see all terms are div by 4 except last one i.e. 3.)
5^n gives remainder 1 for all n. (5^n = (4 + 1)^n do binomial expansion n see all terms are div by 4 except last one i.e. 1.)
now for 2^n + 3^n + 5^n to be div by 4, n must be >1 and an odd number because then remainder of 3^n that is 3 and remainder of 5^n that is 1 will add and make 4. So whole number 2^n + 3^n + 5^n will be div by 4.
=> no. of ways of selecting = 50 - 1 = 49 Ans

let z is a complex number as z = cos A + i sin A
=> z^n = (cos A + i sin A)^n = cos nA + i sin nA (De-Moivre's Theorem)
Now consider the series:
S = ( z * cos A) + ( z * cos A)^2 + ( z * cos A)^3 + ......+ ( z * cos A)^n ........ (i)
=> S = (cos A + i sin A)* cosA + (cos 2A + i sin 2A) * (cos A)^2 + .................. .......................(cos nA + i sin nA)* (cos A)^n
Now imaginary part of S is, Im (S) = sin A * (cos A) + sin 2A * (cos A)^2 + sin 3A * (cos A)^3 +.......................................sin nA (cos A)^n = given expression
but (i) is a GP and so S = [(z cos A) ((z cosA)^n - 1) ] / (z cos A - 1)
thus: sin A * (cos A) + sin 2A * (cos A)^2 + sin 3A * (cos A)^3 +.................sin nA (cos A)^n = Im ([(z cos A) ((z cosA)^n - 1) ] / (z cos A - 1)) Ans
RHS can be found easily.

Shashank,
you have to somehow distribute 2, 2, 5 and 3 among x1, x2, x3 as 2*2*3*5 = 60
now u can give all 2s to any one = 3 ways
or 1-1 2 to any 2 of them = 3 ways (to x1, x2 or to x2, x3 or to x3, x1)
=> no. of ways of distributing 2s = 6
Now 3 and 5 can be distributed either both to any one i.e. 3 ways or 1-1 to any two of them = 3 ways but they can be exchanged also i.e. 3*2 = 6 ways .... thus total 3 + 6 = 9 ways total to distribute 3, 5
=> total no. of ways = 6 * 9 = 54
is that clear?
|

60 can be written as 2*2*3*5 = (2^2)(3^1)(5^1)
now x1, x2, x3 can be formed by taking two 2s, one 3 and one 5 => total 4 items
we have to effectively distribute these 4 items among three persons (x1, x2, x3) where we can 0 items to anybody too. (in that case x1, x2 or x3 is 1)
so no. of ways = 3 * 9 + 3 * 9 = 54 Ans

Here u have to take 5 digits out of 6 digits, you can take either 0,1,2,4,5 or 1,2,3,4,5 only.
when digits are : 0,1,2,4,5
number of numbers = 4*4*3*2*1 = 96
when digits are : 0,1,2,4,5
number of numbers = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
=> total no. of digits = 120 + 96 = 216 Ans

number of 3 digit distinct nos whose sum of digits are even:
first digit can be anything from 1 to 9 => 9 ways
second can be anything from 0 to 9 => 10 ways
third can be 1,3,5,7,9 (if sum of first two digit is odd) or 0,2,4,6,8 (if sum of first two digit is even) => 5 ways
so total no. of ways = 9 * 10 * 5 = 450 Ans

Akash!
S = 1.3.5.7 + 3.5.7.9 + 5.7.9.11 + ............. n terms
= (2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5) where r = 1 to n
i.e. S = Tr where Tr = (2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5) and r = 1 to n
Tr = (2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)
or Tr = (1/10) [(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)(2r+7) - (2r-3)(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)]
=> T1 = (1/10) [ 1.3.5.7.9 - (-1).1.3.5.7] T2 = (1/10) [ 3.5.7.9.11 - 1.3.5.7.9] T3 = (1/10) [ 5.7.9.11.13 - 3.5.7.9.11] T4 = (1/10) [ 7.9.11.13.15 - 5.7.9.11.13] ....................................................... Tn = (1/10) [(2n-1)(2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)(2n+7) - (2n-3)(2n-1)(2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)]
(please note here that second part of every term is first part of previous term)
adding all of them,
S = T1 + T2 + T3 +......+ Tn
=>. S = (1/10) [(2n-1)(2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)(2n+7) - (-1).1.3.5.7]
=> S = (1/10) [(2n-1)(2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)(2n+7) + 105] Ans

Please check the ques again and write it in a clearer way.

Probability for the 1st item to be non-defective = (n-r)/n
Probability for the 2nd item to be non-defective (given that the 1st item was non-defective) = (n-r-1)/n
Probability for the 3rd item to be non-defective (given that the 1st n 2nd items were non-defective) = (n-r-2)/n
and so on.....
|
|
|
|
If an item is put back in the lot after inspection,
probability = [ ((n-r)/n)^(k-1) ] * (r/n)
If an item is not put back in the lot after inspection (i.e. inspect and put aside),
For kth article inspected to be the first defective one, last k-1 items must come as non-defective,
prob = (n-r)/n * (n-r-1)/n * ............. (n-r-k+2)/n * r/(n-k+1)

shashank!
you are right!
I apologize for the error.

Pooja!
As far as I understood your question, i think you are asking the probability that 1, 2, and 3 come together in the order mentioned i.e. 1 then 2 and then 3.
Now, total number of arrangements are 9! of course.
and favorable no. of outcomes are when you consider the digits 1,2,3 as a single digit......then there are 6 digits + 1 digit (123) = 7 digits
so, number of favorable arrangements = 7!
so probability = 7!/9! = 1/72

Consider the following A.G.P.
S = x^r - 2x^(r-1) + 3x^(r-2) - 4x^(r-3) +.............+ (-1)^r * (r+1) * x^0 ....... (i)
(Calculate S using sum of AGP)
and the following binomial expansion:
(1 + 1/x)^n = C0 + C1/x + C2/x^2 + ..........+ Cn/x^n
=> (1 + x^n)/x^n = C0 + C1/x + C2/x^2 + ..........+ Cn/x^n ..........(ii)
Multiplying RHS of (i) and (ii), we get
[x^r - 2x^(r-1) + 3x^(r-2) - 4x^(r-3) +.............+ (-1)^r * (r+1) * x^0] * [C0 + C1/x + C2/x^2 + ..........+ Cn/x^n]
(Cr is ncr here)
If you compare the coefficient of x^0 in this expression, you get,
ncr - 2ncr-1+3ncr-2-4ncr-3+...............................(-1)r(r+1) and the value of this will be coefficient of x^0 when you multiply S and
(1 + x^n)/x^n where S you know after doing sum of AGP.
For any clarifications, ask further.

Sonia,
there is so much of drawing in solution of ur ques. Please write your email here or send me at ken.rohit@gmail.com.
I will send u the solution within 6 hrs.

Of course if n > 365 , probability = 0
If n < 365, then
Probability that all n persons must have altogether different b'days is equal to
= (365/365) * (364/365) * (363/365) * .......................... ((365 - n + 1)/365)
= (365!) / ((365^n)(365 - n)!)
Now the probability that at least two of them have same birthdays
= 1 - [ (365!) / ((365^n)(365 - n)!) ]
Here, i have assumed that we are talking abt a non-leap year.

if u solve x^3 = 1, u will get it, i m giving some steps as follows:
=> x^3 - 1 = 0 => (x - 1)(x^2 + x + 1) = 0 => x = 1, ( - 1 -3 ) /2 => x = 1, ( - 1 i 3 ) /2 or 1, w, w^2
similarly if u solve given equation which is (x^2 - x + 1) = 0, u will get - w, - w^2.
please call or mail me for further queries. it's painful to type here.

x + 1/x = 1 => x^2 - x + 1 = 0
=> x = ( 1 3 i )/2 ( i is imaginary unit (iota) ) => x = - w, - w^2 (w is omega, third root of unity, w^3n = 1 for any +ve integer n)
=> x^2000 = (- w)^2000 = ((- w)^2) (- w)^1998 = w^2 . 1 = w^2
=> x2000 +1/x2000 = w^2 + 1/w^2 = (w^4 + 1)/w^2 = (w + 1)/w^2 = - w^2/w^2 => x2000 +1/x2000 = - 1 Ans
Please note that:
Since x + 1/x = 1, x can't be real, as for real x,
(x + 1/x)/2 >= (x. 1/x)^(1/2) = 1 (using A.M. >= G.M.)
=> x + 1/x >= 2 for real x.

Sneha,
sin-1x can be max pi/2 and minimum -pi/2 (as far as i remember the range of sin-1x)
let A = sin-1(sin 5) => sin A = sin 5 = sin (pi + (5 - pi)) = - sin (5 - pi) => sin A = - sin (pi/2 + (5 - 3*pi/2)) = - cos (5 - 3*pi/2)
=> - sin A = cos (5 - 3*pi/2)
=> cos (pi/2 + A) = cos (5 - 3*pi/2)
=> pi/2 + A = 5 - 3*pi/2
=> A = (5 - 2*pi) is the correct answer.
(remember that answer must lie between -pi/2 and pi/2, and (5 - 2*pi) does) .

Best book is TMH Book but it's level is a little bit high for the beginners. Other good books are by A Das Gupta and Bharti Publication Multiple choice book.
