How to find the coefficient of x^18 in the expansion of (x+x^2+x^3+...+x^6)^4
a)
It is similar to get a total of 18 on four dices
(6 - a) + (6 - b) + (6 - c) + (6 - d) = 6
=> a + b + c + d = 6
So, C(9, 3) - 4 (4 is subtracted for the case when a or b or c or d is 6)
=> 80 ways
=============================
Ramu mixes 2 litres of mineral water costing Rs. 15 per litre with 18 litres of
milk that he bought for Rs. 900. After selling 2 litres of this mixture to Shamu
, Ramu adds tap water so that the ratio of milk to tap water is 9:10. If tap wat
er is free and Ramu claims to sell at cost, what is his profit?
Option 1. The 2 litres given to Shamu contain milk and water in the ratio 9:1, i
.e., 1.8 litres of milk and 0.2 litres of water. The remaining 18 litres contain
s 16.2 litres of milk and 1.8 litres of water. After adding tap water, the ratio
of milk to water becomes 9:10. the quantity of tap water is 16.2 10/9 = 18 litr
es. Since the mixture already has 18 litres, the total quantity now becomes 36 l
itres. The total revenue is 36 50 + 2 50 (already sold) = 1900 The total cost is
900 + (2 15) = Rs. 930. Thus his profit is 1900 930 = Rs. 970 (970/930) 100 =
104%.

Let x = a/b, we want to find y such x + y + x*y = 1.

y (1 + x) = 1 - x
y = (1 - x) / (1 + x)
Substituting y = c/d and x = a/b:
c/d = (1 - a/b) / (1 + a/b)
c/d = (b - a)/b / (b + a)/b
canceling the "/b"s, we have:
c = b - a
d = b + a
.
Returning to our example:
a/b = 3/5.
Then c/d = (5-3)/(5+3) = 2/8 = 1/4
Or, starting with 1/4, we have
a/b = 1/4
c/d = (4-1)/(4+1) = 3/5

Thus the different possible combinations is

The pendulum of a clock takes 7 seconds to strike 4 o clock. How much time (in s
econds) will it take to strike 11 o clock?
The more relevant thing here is not the number of strikes but the number of time
intervals.
In other words, if a clock has to strike 4, there are 3 time intervals between t
he 4 strikes (the 1st strike happens at the 0th sec).
So, in 7 seconds, the pendulum had 3 time intervals.
To strike 11, there have to be 10 time intervals which will take (10 7)/3 = 70/3
seconds.
(P 1)! is not divisible by P when P is Prime.
There are 10 prime numbers in this range: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29.
Also P = 4 satisfies this condition hence total numbers are 10 + 1 = 11.

in how many ways can 6 different balls be placed in to 3 identical boxes??
See if both were distinct it would ve been 3^6
Now as here boxes are identical so convert it into unordered. So all are arrange
d in 3! Ways except 600 which is arranged in 3!/2=3 ways .. So
(3^6-3)/3!+1=122See if both were distinct it would ve been 3^6

------------------------------------------A and B working together can finish a job in T days. If A works alone and
completes the job, he will take T + 5 days. If B works alone and completes
the same job, he will take T + 45 days. What is T?
(1) 25
(2) 60
(3) 15
(4) None of these
Correct Answer - (3)
Solution:
The time it will take when A and B work together isgiven by the formula
(5*45)^(1/2) = 225^(1/2)= 15 days. Where 5 and 45are the extra time that A
and B take to complete the job if the work alone asagainst working together.

It takes the pendulum of a clock 7 seconds to strike 4 oclock. How much time will
it take to strike 11 oclock?
A)
18 seconds
B)
20 seconds
C)
19.25 seconds
D)
23.33 seconds

01:21
Ans:D
Students please note that the more relevant thing in this case is not the number
of strikes but the number of time intervals.
In other words, if a clock has to strike 4, there are 3 time intervals between t
he 4 strikes (this is so taken because the first strike happens at the zeroth se
cond).
So in 7 seconds the pendulum elapses 3 time intervals.
To strike 11, there has to be 10 time intervals, which will take (10 7)/3 = 23.3
3 seconds.
