68.75 = 11/ 16
let Vol 1= 16 then vol 2 = 27
We know water proportion initially * Volume 1 = Water proportion finally *Volume 2
=> water proportion initially * 16 = (1/4) * 27
=>water proportion initially = 27/64
so water : milk = 27: 37

Q17) How many pairs of factors of N = 360 will be coprime to each other?
-
360 = 36 * 10 = 2^3 * 3^2 * 5
ORDERED PAIRS = (2 * 3 + 1)(2 * 2 + 1) (2 * 1 + 1) = 105
UNORDERED PAIR = [(2 * 3 + 1)(2 * 2 + 1) (2 * 1 + 1) -1 ]/2 = 52
As in this case variables are implicit so Its UNORDERED PAIRS .. so 52
-
Q18) How many ways can 360 be expressed as Product of 2 coprimes?
-
Let us suppose you have to express the number 360 as product of 2 co primes i,e a and b
So 360 = 2^3 * 3^2 *5
SO TOTAL 3 PRIMES Are there in 360 ..
We have to express as product of 2 co-primes "a" and "b"
So each of the primes i.e 2 , 3 and 5 has just 2 choices i.e either they can go "a" or to "b" .. so 2 * 2 * 2 = 8
there these 8 include cases like (1. 360 ) and (360,1) i.e "repeat cases
so 8/2 = 4
the formula is (2^n)/2 = 2^(n-1)

Q19) Real madrid and Manchester united play a football match in which REAL beats MANCHESTER 4 - 2 ..In how many Ways can the goals be scored provided MANCHESTER never had a lead over REAL during the match?
-
if Manchester never had a lead means 1st goal was scored by REAL .. So score card at this juncture would ve been 1 - 0 ..The only way MANCHESTER could take lead is by scoring next 2 goals , i.e a pattern like RMMRRR.. Except this one case , MANCHESTER Can no way take lead as such ..
So (5!)/3! *2! = 10
NOW excluding this one case of RMMRRR ... We have 10 - 1 = 9

Q20) How many integers P are there between 0 and 10^100 such that units digit of P^3 is 1 ?
-
So , each number from 1 - 10 has a distinct unit digit for its cube ..
occurrence of each digit in cube is 1/10 times
So 0 - 10^100 it will be 10^100 * 1/10 = 10^99

Q21) 20 groups of five shooters each compete in an shooting championship. A shooter finishing in Nth position contributes N points to his team, and there are no ties. The team that wins will be the one that has the least score . Given that , the 1st position team's score is not the same as any other team, the number of winning scores that are possible is
-
The group’ scores must sum to 1 + 2 + . . . + 99 + 100 = 5050.
The winning group can be ATMOST 1/20 * 5050 = 252.5 and is at least 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15.
However, not all scores between 15 and 252 inclusively are possible because all teams must have integer scores and no team can tie the winning team.
number of scores possible = 251 - 15 + 1 = 237

Q22) X varies inversely as y and x varies directly as the square of z. If y decreases by 43.75% and z decreases by 75%, by what percent does x change?
a. 88.88%
b. 50%
c. 45.45%
d. 54.54%
e. 44.44%
-
Here my approach would be
X varies inversely as Y so XY is Constant
X varies directly with z^2 so x/z^2 is a constant
so (XY)/Z^2 = constant
X = (constant * Z^2 )/Y
So multiplying factor of X = (1 * multiplying factor of Z^2 )multiplying factor of Y
=> multiplying factor of X = [1 * (1/4)^2] / (9/16)
=> multiplying factor of X = 1/9
As mulpliying factor of x is 1/9 so change is "x" is 8/9 .. i.e 11.11 * 8 = 88.88 %

Q23) Total positive integral solutions of 4x + 5y + 2z = 111?
-
Answer by Bruce Wayyne
y needs to be odd, else LHS would become even.
say y = 2k-1 k is positive
=> 4x + 5 (2k-1) + 2z = 111
2x + 5k +z = 58
Let k = 1,
2x+z= 53 so (1, 51)...(26, 1) so 26
k=2
2x+z=48 so (23, 2).....(1, 46) so 23
k=3
2x+z=43 so (1,41)....(21, 1) so 21
k=4
2x+z= 38 so (1, 36)....(18,2) so 18
k=5
2x+z= 33 so (1,31)....(16,1) so 16
Hence the pattern is +3, +2, +3, +2....so on.
so (26+21+16+11+6+1) + (23+18+ 13 + 8 + 3) = 146

Q24) The volume of a mixture of milk and water was increased by 68.75% by adding pure milk to it..if the ratio of milk n water in the resultant solution is 3:1.. find the ratio of milk n water in the original solution ?
-
68.75 = 11/ 16
let Vol 1= 16 then vol 2 = 27
We know water proportion initially * Volume 1 = Water proportion finally *Volume 2
=> water proportion initially * 16 = (1/4) * 27
=>water proportion initially = 27/64
so water : milk = 27: 37
or
milk : water = 37: 27

Q25) HCF of 3 numbers is 6 and their sum is 120. How many such triplets exist ?
-
6x + 6y + 6z = 120
=> x + y + z = 20
19c2 casesHCF > 1
only possible case for HCF = Either 2 and 5 ..
case -1 (when HCF =2)
2x + 2y + 2z = 20
=> x + y + z = 10
9c2Case -2 , (When HCF = 5)
5x + 5y + 5z = 20
=> x + y + z = 4
so 3c2Therefore , required cases = 19c2 - 9c2 - 3c2 = 132 (ORDERED )
Now remove the 2 same 1 cases where HCF is 1
cases , 1 , 1 ,18 ; 3, 3 , 14 ; 7,7,6; 9,9,2 ... each of these arranged in 3!/2! ways so , 12 ways ..
so (132 - 12)/6 + 4 = 24
(for un ordered) ..
