ANSWER- 1 EXPLANATIONRAKESH WAS CARRYING 5 PIECES OF TIMBER AND NIKHILESH 7 . SUPPOSING NIKHILESH HAD n PIECES . IF HE GAVE 1 PIECE TO RAKESH, HE WOULD HAVE n-1 PIECES. BUT RAKESH WOULD HAVE THEN THE SAME NUMBER AS NIKHILESH . THEREFORE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PIECES MUST HAVE BEEN : n-1 +n-1or 2n-2 SINCE NIKHILESH HAD n ORIGNALLLY, RAKESH MUST HAVE HAD 2n2-n OR n-2 IF RAKESH GAVE NIKHILESH 1 OF HIS n-2 PIECES, HE WOULD HAVE n-3 AND NIKHILESH WOULD HAVE n+1 . BUT WE HAVE THE INFORMATION THAT n+1=2[N-3] N=7

 TICKLER QUESTION-30 MARKS

Find out which one is larger 9950 + 10050 or 10150?

EXPLANATION Let's try to find out 10150 - 9950 in terms of remaining term i.e. 10150 - 9950 = (100+1)50 - (100 - 1)50 = (C0.10050 + C110049 + C2.10048 +......) = -(C010050 - C110049 + C210048 -......) = 2[C1.10049 + C310047 +.........] = 2[50.10049 + C310047 +.........] = 10050 + 2[C310047 +............] > 10050 => 10150 > 9950 + 10050
