Q6. There is a circular pizza with negligible depth. What is the maximum number of pieces that can be formed with three straight cuts?
a. 5 b. 6 c. 7 d. 8
ans is=8
first cut , pizza divided in 2 part put 2 part one above the another
2nd cut divided in 4 part
3rd cut divided in 8 part

Q5. what is the number of distinct triangles with integral-valued sides and perimeter as 14?
a. 6 b. 5 c. 4 d. 3
rules of triangle, summation of any two side is greater then another side
i find 4 pair
554,446,662,365,
but i think another pair also possible
can anyone help me hahahah

is it 8th term or 10th term.
5's are in 5, 10 and 15
Total number of 5's = 5 + 10+ 15 = 30
for 75 = 3 x 25 we need two fives
So power of 75 that can divide = 30/2 = 15
answer d. None of the above


Let a = first term
And d = common difference
Then
a + 3d + a + 19d = a + 5d + a + 11d + a + 15d
=> 2a + 22d = 3a + 31d
=> a + 9d = 0
i.e the 10th term is Zero
