M106. For what value of 'n' will the remainder of 351^n and 352^n be the same when divided by 7?
Ans.  351 = 1 mod (7) and 352 = 2 mod 7 then 1^n = 2^n thus n=0 is the answer.

M107. If a is real then the minimum value of a2 - 8a + 11 is ________?
Ans.  Here it can be put as (a-4)^2 -5 thus minimum value is -5 Ans.

M110. Prove that 99n ends in 99 for odd n
Ans 99 will end in 01 for even values and end in 99 for odd values.
M111.When Christmas trees are planted they should stand at least 2 metres away from one another whilst growing.What is the maximum number of trees that can be planted in one square kilometre?
Ans. 1000 m thus 0 + 2+...+1000 thus no. of plant s = 501 and next row will have 499 plants at distance 2/(3)^0.5 Possible pairs = (1000/2)*1.732= 866
        Thus 2 rows = 501+499 =1000 plants thus total plants = 1000x433 = 433000 Ans.

M113. A wooden cube has each of its six faces painted either white or grey. How many different cubes can be made out of it?
Ans.  2^6 = 64 cubes

M114. 9^6 + 1 when divided by 8, would leave a remainder
Ans.  2 Ans

M115. How many numbers below one hundred are divisible by both 2 and 3?
Ans.   6 + 12+....+ 96 here Tn = 96=6+(n-1)6 or n =16 ans.

m106

for m106 the ans is 3

 

(351^n/)7=(1^n)/7

(352^n)/7=(2^n)/7

now,for n=3,remainder will be 1 in each case.therefore,ans is 3

ans. of no. 1

351/7=1 remainder, 352/7=2  now  1^n=2^n   n=3k   where k is any integar because  2^3=8 rem.=1 2^6=64 rem.=1

M119. What smallest number

M119. What smallest number should multiply 34300, in order to make it a perfect square?

Soln. As, 343100=7^3 x 10^2
       least no. is 7...

Giv ur best to d world,
Nd d best will cm back to u...

M106 answer will be n=3 and

M106 answer will be n=3 and not 0 since (1^n)/7 and (2^n)/7 must have same remainder thus n=3

the answer to M106 would be

the answer to M106 would be n=3

and not  n=0

M120.

ans is 10;
proof : 3^p + 3^q = 2430
and 2430 = 3^4 x 10
therefore, 3^p + 3^q = 3^4 x 10
or 3^(p-4) + 3^(q-4) = 10

above implies that 3^(p-4) and 3^(q-4) are single digit, obtained as power of three and add up to 10.
single digit numbers that strike to fit into the above equation are 9 and 1
i.e 9+1 = 10
thus we get (p,q) = (6,4) or (4,6) in any case
p+q = 10.

hope things are clear.
