A cyclist left point A for point B and travelled at the constant speed of 25km/h. when he covered the distance of 8.33 km, he was overtaken by a car that left point A twelve minutes after the cyclist and travelled at a constant speed too. When the cyclist travelled another 30km, he encountered the car returning from B. Assume that the car did nt stop at point B. Find the distance b/w A and B.

The cyclist covered 25/3 kms in 20 mins. The car started 12 minutes after the cyclist. Thus the car covers 25 kms in 24 minutes.

When the cyclist meets the car again, the car would have travelled 30 + 2x in 30/25 hours or 72 mins. Hence 30 + 2x/72 = 25/24, x = 22.5

Total distance = 8.33 + 30 + 22.5 = 60.83. (Weird number, am I wrong somewhere?)

Its 7.

7^776 mod 4 = (-1)^ 776 mod 4 =1

Multiply by 7.

I think it should be multiply by 49, first 7 from 7^777 and another from 7*4 = 28

so remainder will be 49 mod 28 = 21

Basically we are looking for exponent of 6 in 100!

Exponent of 2 in 100! = 97

Exponent of 3 in 100! = 48

So, exponent of 6 will be 48

Hence 48 zeros, but answer should be in base 6

So, it will be 120

Since B has 20 in the end, means A and C together will have 60

It is mentioned that B triples their amount, so before that A and C must be having 20 and B must be having 60

But initially A tripled the amount that was with B

So, B must be having 20 in the starting

In a plane, there are ten points, exactly three of which are collinear. No other set of three points are collinear. Find the number of straight lines which can be formed by joining these ten points.

"

Post detailed Solution Also

Two points determine one line.

From 10 points, we have 10C2 lines.

However 3 of of them are collinear. They would form 1 line.

Thus 10C2 - 3C2 + 1

LCM x HCF = Product of two numbers

LCM = (3^2003 - 1)(3^2003 - 1)/2 = (3^4006 - 1)/2

3^2006 mod 100 is 29. (28 - 1)/2 = 14. Thus the last digit will be 4.

It will be 16.

Numbers relatively prime to 100 should will be non-multiples of 2 and 5. Numbers not co-prime to 99 will be multiples of 3 and 11.

Number of Mutiples of 3 but not of 2 or 5 and less than 100 = 13

Number of Multiples of 11 but not of 2 or 5 and less than 100 = 4

But 33 is common between the two. Thus 13 + 4 -1 = 16

On Friday, she noticed that the fraction p of the line is in front of her, while 1/q of the line was behind her. On Saturday, the same fraction p of the line was in front of her, while 1/(q+1) of the line was behind her. On Sunday, the same fraction p of the line was in front of her, while 1/(q+2) of the line was behind her. For how many values of p is this possible? (a) 3 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) no such value (e) infinitely many

and

If n is any 3-digit prime number then which of the following statement(s) is(are) definitely true?

1. n divides 2^n – 2.

2. a^n + b^n is always divisible by (a + b) for a + b ≠ 0.

3. There always exist n consecutive composites numbers.

options re

1) Only 1

2) Only 2

3) Only 1 and 2

4) All statements are correct

How can we say that 1 and 3 are correct. Need explainations.

so they will always have even number of nos between them... so we cant have odd nos of consecutive composite nos..

i guess if we assume the quad to be a square. the angle will form a kite with the diagonals of the square, at the center of the circle. the angle will be 135. hence sum of all will be 540. if the answer is general then it should be 540 for any case including this one.
