Put a = 2, b = 12 in ab  =  5b  +  a2

∴  212  =  5  *   12  +  4  =  64

⇒ 26 = 64, which is true.

Let Ab = X km and speed of bus be Y km/hr and time be T hrs original equation becomes XY=T           .....   (1)

By increasing speed by 7 km/hr equation becomes

Xy+7=T−1           .....   (2)

By decreasing speed by 5 km/hr equation becomes

Xy−5=T+2           .....   (3)

On solving equation 1, 2 & 3 we get the value of y as and

353 and T=83 

∴ AB = X = 2809   

≈ 31 km

A + 4 = B + 5 = C + 6 = D + 7 = P + B + C + D + 8

A + 4 = B + 5 A – 1 = B

A + 4 = C + 6 A – 2 = C

A + 4 = D + 7 A – 3 = D

Now, A + 4 = A + A – 1 + A – 2 + A – 3 + 8

A =23

B=−13,   C=−43,   D=−73

So, A + B + C + D =

Let the ages of Akshat, Rishab, Gaurav be X, Y, Z years respectively.

X = 2 Z                                          . (1)

X + Z = 2 Y                                    . (2)

(X + 6 + Y + 6) = 3  (Z + 6)           &nb

Total number of passenger is the Rajdhani Express = 10 * 20 = 200

So, in the 9 boggies the minimum number of total passengers = 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 = 144

Hence, the minimum number of passenger in one boggie can be (200? 144) = 56

Let A and B work for m days and C for n days to complete the work. Therefore,

m15+m20+n30=1 . (1)

Out of the total of Rs. 18000, B gets Rs. 6000 more than C.

i.e.,  m20−n30=600018000=13 . (2)

On adding Eqs. (1) and (2), we get

m15+2m20=45⇒m=8

Let f (x) = px2 + qx + k, where p, q and k are integers, and p ≠ 0

∴ f (0) = k = 1

∴ f (x) = px2 + qx + 1

= px2 +qx + k (Differentiate both sides with respect to x)

∴ f' (x) = 2px + q

For maxima or minima f' (x) = 0, x = − q2p

f (x) attains maximum at x = 1

∴ q = − 2p

f (1) = p + q + 1 = 3

∴ 1 − p = 3

∴ p = − 2

∴ q = 4

∴ f (x) = −2x2 + 4x + 1

f (10) = − 200 + 40 + 1 = −159

f (x) = x – x2 + 1

g (x) = x2 + b + 3

f (2) g (1) < 0

(a – 4 + 1) (1 + 6 + 3) < 0

(a – 3) (b + 4) < 0

100! has 24 zeroes.

100! + 200! = 100! [1 + 101 * 102 * … * 200]

Which will again give 24 zeroes at the end.
