8 directors, the vice chairman and the chairman are to be seated around a circular table. If the chairman should sit between a director and the vice chairman, in how many ways can they be seated? Answer: 8! * 2 Explanation: Let us consider the vice chairman and the chairman together as one entity. Hence, 8 directors + this entity can be arranged circularly in (9-1)! ways. … [Read more...] about Permutation Rearrangement

If p = 1! + (2x2!) + (3x3!) + (4x4!)...... + (10x10!), what is the remainder when p+2 is divided by 11!? Answer: 1 Explanation: p = 1! + (2x2!) + (3x3!) + (4x4!)...... + (10x10!) p = (1x1!) + (2x2!) + (3x3!) + (4x4!)...... + (10x10!) But, (1x1!) = 2! – 1! (2x2!) = 3! – 2! (3x3!) = 4! – 3! And so on. Hence, p = 2! – 1! + 3! – 2! + 4! – 3! + 5! – 4! + 6! – 5! + 7! – 6! … [Read more...] about Number Properties – Factorial & Remainders

Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions

October 5, 2012 By K S Baskar Leave a Comment

The second, the first and the third term of an A.P whose common difference is non zero form a G.P in that order. Find its common ratio. Answer: -2 Explanation: Let the terms in GP be a, ar, ar2. Hence the terms ar, a and ar2 are in AP. Therefore, a – ar = ar2– a ‘a’ cannot be 0. Hence, 1 – r = r2 – 1 r2 + r -2 = 0 (r + 2)(r – 1) = 0 Now r cannot be ‘1’ … [Read more...] about Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions

Number Properties – Divisibility Basics

October 1, 2012 By K S Baskar Leave a Comment

If n is a natural number what is the remainder when (23*35*57*79)^n is divided by 2? Answer: 1 Explanation: 23, 35, 57, 79 are all odd numbers. The product of any number of odd numbers will also be an odd number and an odd number raised to any power will again be an odd number. When an odd number is divided by 2 the remainder is 1. If n is a natural number what is the … [Read more...] about Number Properties – Divisibility Basics
