The digit in the unit place of the number $(183\,!) + {3^{183}}$ is
Answera
(a) We know that $n!$ terminates in $0$ for $n$ $\geq$ $5$ and ${3^{4n}}$ terminator in $1$, (${3^4} = 81)$
$\therefore {3^{180}} = {({3^4})^{45}}$ terminates in $1$
Also ${3^3}$ $= 27$ terminates in $7$
${3^{183}} = {3^{180}}{3^3}$ terminates in $7.$
$183! + {3^{183}}$ terminates in $7$
$i.e$. the digit in the unit place $= 7$.

divisible by $9$
$a b c=\left(3 k_1\right)\left(3 k_1+1\right)\left(3 k_1+2\right)$ divisible by $3$
$C-II$ : $\left(3 k_1\right)^3+\left(3 k_2\right)^3+\left(3 k_3\right)^3=9 k^{\prime}$ divisible $9$
$a b c=\left(3 k_1\right)\left(3 k_2\right)\left(3 k_3\right)$ divisible by 3
$C-III$ :
$\left(3 k _1+1\right)^3+\left(3 k _2+1\right)^3+\left(3 k _3+1\right)^3+9 k ^{\prime}+3$
Not divisible by $9$
$C-IV$: $\left(3 k _1+2\right)^3+\left(3 k _2+2\right)^3+\left(3 k _3+2\right)^3$
$=9 k ^{\prime}+24$ not divisible by 9
$C - V :\left(3 k_1+2\right)^3+\left(3 k_2+2\right)^3+\left(3 k_3\right)^3$
$=9 k ^1+16$ not divisible by $9$
$C - V I :\left(3 k _1+1\right)^3+\left(3 k _2+1\right)^3+\left(3 k _3\right)^3$
$=9 k ^{\prime}+2$ not divisible by $9$
other then $C-I$ and $C-II$ all cases are not divisible by $9$
for $C-I$ and $C-II$ statement is true.
Hence statement $1$ is true.
Statement $2$
$a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3=1^3+2^3+1^3+2^3$ divisible
by 9 but $1.2$.$1.2$ not divisible by $3$
Hence statement $2$ is false
Alternate:
$a^3+b^3+c^3=9 k$
$=3 a b c+(a+b+c) \cdot\left((a+b+c)^2-3(a b+b c+c a)\right)$
$9 k =3 a b c+(a+b+c)^3-3(a+b+c)(a b+b c+c a)$
$\text { divide both side by } 3$
$3 k =a b c+\frac{(a+b+c)^3}{3}-(a+b+c)(a b+b c+c a)$
$\therefore a+b+c=3\,m \quad \because 3 \text { is prime }$
$\Rightarrow \therefore a b c=3\,t$

Consider the following two statements :
$I.$ If $n$ is a composite number, then $n$ divides $(n-1) ! .$
$II$. There are infinitely many natural numbers $n$ such that $n^3+2 n^2+n$ divides $n !$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $I$ is false and $II$ is true

Since, Statement $I$ does not hold for $n=4$
$\Rightarrow$ Statement $I$ is false.
For Statement $II$,
$n(n+1)^2 \mid n !$
$(n+1)^2 \mid(n-1) !$
Let $n=3 k-1, k > 3, k \in N$
$n+1 =3 k, n-1=3 k-2$
$(n-1) ! =(3 k-2) !$
Since, RHS contains $3^2, k^2$
Hence, it is divisible by $(3 k)^2$.
$\Rightarrow(n-1)$ ! is divisible by $(n+1)^2$
$\Rightarrow$ Statement $II$ is true.

d
(d)
It is given that, $N_2=165$ $=3 \times 5 \times 11$ and $N_1=2^{55}+1$
As we know that, if $n$ is odd integer then $x^n+y^n$ is divisible by $x+y$.
So, $N_1=2^{55}+1^{55}$ is divisible by $2+1=3$ and $N_1=2^{55}+1^{55}$
$=\left(2^5\right)^{11}+\left(1^5\right)^{11}=(32)^{11}+(1)^{11}$
is divisible by $32+1=33$
$\therefore$ the HCF of $N_1$ and $N_2$ is $33$

c
(c)
Let $p(x)=x^{135}+x^{125}-x^{115}+x^5+1$,
$q(x)=x^3-x$ and $p(x)=q(x) k+r(x)$
$x^{135}+x^{125}-x^{115}+x^5+1 =\left(x^3-x\right) k+a x^2+b x+c$
Put $x=0$
$\therefore \quad c=1$
Put $x=1, \quad 3=a+b+c \Rightarrow 3=a+b+1$
$\Rightarrow \quad a+b=2$
Put $x=-1,-1=a-b+c \Rightarrow-1=a-b+1$
$\Rightarrow \quad a-b=-2$ From Eqs.$(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get
$a =0, b=2$
$\therefore r(x) =2 x+1$
$\therefore \text { Degree of } r(x) =1$

$-\left(2014^3+2013^3+\ldots+2^3+1^3\right)$
$\Rightarrow S=2 \times 2^3\left(1007^3+1006^3+\ldots+1^3\right)$
$-\left(2014^3+2013^3+\ldots+2^3+1^3\right)$
$\Rightarrow S=\frac{2 \times 8(1007)^2(1008)^2 \quad 2014^2 \times 2015^2}{4}$
$\Rightarrow S=(1007)^2\left[\frac{2 \times 8 \times(1008)^2-4 \times(2015)^2}{4}\right]$
$\Rightarrow S=(1007)^2\left[(2016)^2-(2015)^2\right]$
$\Rightarrow S=(1007)^2(2016+2015)(2016-2015)$
$\Rightarrow \quad S=(1007)^2(4031)$
Thus, $S$ is divisible by $(1007)^2$.

If $n$ is multiple of 3
i.e. $n=3 q$
Then, $n^{19}$ is also multiple of 3 .
When $n=3 q+1$ and $3 q+2$
If $n$ is multiple of $3$
i.e. $n=3 q$
Then, $n^{19}$ is also multiple of $3$ .
When $n=3 q+1$ and $3 q+2$
$n^{38}=(3 q+1)^{38}$
$=(3 q+1)^{36}(3 q+1)^2$
$=(36 k+1)\left(9 q^2+6 q+1\right)$
$=36 k\left(9 q^2+6 q+1\right)+9 q^2+6 q+1$

We have, $\left(x^{1 / 2}+\frac{1}{2 x^{1 / 4}}\right)^n$
$T_{r+1}={ }^n C_r\left(x^{1 / 2}\right)^{n-r} \frac{1}{\left(2 x^{\frac{1}{4}}\right)^r}$
$T_{r+1}={ }^n C_r x{ }^{n-r}-{ }^r 4 \cdot 2^{-r}$
$T_{r+1}={ }^n C_r \frac{2 n-3 r}{4} \cdot 2^{-r}=\frac{{ }^n C_r}{2^r} x^{\frac{2 n-3 r}{4}}$
Given $T_1, T_2, T_3$ are in AP.
$\therefore 2 T_2=T_1+T_3$
$\frac{2^n C_1}{2}={ }^n C_0+\frac{{ }^n C_2}{2^2}$
$\Rightarrow { }^n C_1={ }^n C_0+\frac{n(n-1)}{2 \cdot 2^2}$

$\Rightarrow \quad n-1=\frac{n(n-1)}{8}$
$\Rightarrow n-1=0 \text { or } n=8$
When $n=8$,
$\frac{2 n-3 r}{4}=\frac{16-3 r}{4}$ is integer

Let $a_0=0$ and $a_n=3 a_{n-1}+1$ for $n \geq 1$. Then, the remainder obtained dividing $a_{2010}$ by $11$ is
Answera
(a)
Given,
$a_0=0$
$a_n=3 a_{n-1}+1, \forall n \geq 1$
$a_1=3 a_0+1=1$
$a_2=3 a_1+1=3+1$
$a_3=3 a_2+1=3(3+1)+1$
$=3^2+3+1$
and $\quad a_4=3 a_3+1=3\left(3^2+3+1\right)+1=3^3$
$+3^2+3+1$
Similarly,
$a_n=1+3+3^2+\ldots+3^{n-1}=\frac{3^n-1}{3-1}=\frac{3^n-1}{2}$
$a_{2010}=\frac{3^{2010}-1}{2}$
$a_{2010}$ is divided by $11$
$\therefore \quad \frac{3^{2010}-1}{2} \div 11=\frac{3^{2010}-1}{22}$
$3^{2010}=\left(3^5\right)^{402}$
$=(243)^{402}=(242+1)^{402}$
$=402(242) k+1$
$\quad[\because k$ is positive integer $]$
$=402 \times 22 \times 11 \times k+1$
$=22 m+1$
$\therefore \frac{3^{2010}-1 \quad 22\,m+1-1}{22}=\frac{22\,m}{22}$
$\therefore$ Remainder $=0$

Put $x=1$,
$3^{20}=a_0+a_1+a_2+\ldots+a_{20}$
Put $x=-1$,
$1=a_0-a_1+a_2-a_3+\ldots+a_{20} \ldots \text { (ii) }$
On adding Eqs.$(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get $\frac{3^{20}+1}{2}=a_0+a_2+a_4+\ldots+a_{20}$

If the constant term in the expansion of $\left(1+2 x-3 x^3\right)\left(\frac{3}{2} x^2-\frac{1}{3 x}\right)^9$ is $p$, then $108$ p is equal to....................
Answerb
$\left(1+2 x-3 x^3\right)\left(\frac{3}{2} x^2-\frac{1}{3 x}\right)^9$
General term $\mathrm{m}\left(\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{x}^2-\frac{1}{3 \mathrm{x}}\right)^9$
$={ }^9 \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \frac{3^{9-2 \mathrm{r}}}{2^{9-\mathrm{r}}}(-1)^{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \mathrm{x}^{18-3 \mathrm{r}}$
Put $r=6$ to get coeff. of $x^0={ }^9 \mathrm{C}_6 \cdot \frac{1}{6^3} \cdot x^0=\frac{7}{18} x^0$
Put $r=7$ to get coeff. of $x^{-3}={ }^9 C_r \cdot \frac{3^{-5}}{2^2}(-1)^7 \cdot x^{-3}$
$ =-{ }^9 C_7 \cdot \frac{1}{3^5 \cdot 2^2} \cdot x^{-3}=\frac{-1}{27} x^{-3} $
$ \left(1+2 x-3 x^3\right)\left(\frac{7}{18} x^0-\frac{1}{27} x^{-3}\right) $
$ \frac{7}{18}+\frac{3}{27}=\frac{7}{18}+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{7+2}{18}=\frac{9}{18}=\frac{1}{2} $
$ \therefore 108 \cdot \frac{1}{2}=54$

If the constant term in the expansion of $\left(\frac{\sqrt[5]{3}}{x}+\frac{2 x}{\sqrt[3]{5}}\right)^{12}, x \neq 0$, is $\alpha \times 2^8 \times \sqrt[5]{3}$, then $25 \alpha$ is equal to :
Answerc
$ \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{r}+1}={ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}\left(\frac{3^{1 / 5}}{\mathrm{x}}\right)^{12-\mathrm{r}}\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{x}}{5^{1 / 3}}\right)^{\mathrm{r}} $
$ \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{r}+1}=\frac{{ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}(3)^{\frac{12-\mathrm{r}}{5}}(2)^{\mathrm{r}}(\mathrm{x})^{2 \mathrm{r}-12}}{(5)^{\mathrm{r} / 3}} $
$ \mathrm{r}=6 $
$ \mathrm{~T}_7=\frac{{ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_6(3)^{6 / 5}(2)^6}{5^2}=\left(\frac{9 \times 11 \times 7}{25}\right) 2^8 \cdot 3^{1 / 5} $
$ 25 \alpha=693$

$ { }^n C_1 x^{n-1} y=135 $ ...........($i$)
$ { }^n C_2 x^{n-2} y^2=30 $ ............($ii$)
$ { }^n C_3 x^{n-3} y^3=\frac{10}{3} $ ............($iii$)
$ \text { By } \frac{(i)}{(i i)} $
$ \frac{{ }^n C_1}{{ }^n C_2} \frac{x}{y}=\frac{9}{2} $ ............($iv$)
$ \text { By } \frac{(\text { ii) }}{(\text { iii) }} $
$ \frac{{ }^n C_2}{{ }^n C_3} \frac{x}{y}=9 $ ...............($v$)
$ \text { By } \frac{(\text { iv) }}{(v)} $
$ \frac{{ }^n C_1 C_3}{{ }^n C_2{ }^n C_2}=\frac{1}{2}$
$ \frac{2 n^2(n-1)(n-2)}{6}=\frac{n(n-1)}{2} \frac{n(n-1)}{2} $
$ 4 n-8=3 n-3 $
$ \Rightarrow n=5$
put in ($v$)
$ \frac{x}{y}=9 $
$ x=9 y $
$ \text { put in (i) } $
$ { }^5 C_1 x^4\left(\frac{x}{9}\right)=135 $
$ x^5=27 \times 9 $
$ \Rightarrow x=3, \quad y=\frac{1}{3} $
$ 6\left(n^3+x^2+y\right) $
$ =6\left(125+9+\frac{1}{3}\right) $
$ =806$

Let $0 \leq \mathrm{r} \leq \mathrm{n}$. If ${ }^{\mathrm{n}+1} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}+1}:{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}:{ }^{\mathrm{n}-1} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}-1}=55: 35: 21$, then $2 n+5 r$ is equal to:
Answerc
$ \frac{{ }^{n+1} C_r}{{ }^n C_r}=\frac{55}{35} $
$ \frac{(n+1) !}{(r+1) !(n-r)} ! \frac{r !(n-r) !}{n !}=\frac{11}{7} $
$ \frac{(n+1)}{r+1}=\frac{11}{7}$
$ 7 \mathrm{n}=4+11 \mathrm{r} $
$ \frac{{ }^n C_r}{{ }^{n-1} C_{r-1}}=\frac{35}{21} $
$ \frac{\mathrm{n} !}{\mathrm{r} !(\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{r}) !}=\frac{(\mathrm{r}-1) !(\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{r}) !}{(\mathrm{n}-1) !}=\frac{5}{3} $
$ \frac{\mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{5}{3} $
$ 3 \mathrm{n}=5 \mathrm{r} $
By solving $ \mathrm{r}=6 \quad \mathrm{n}=10 $
$ 2 \mathrm{n}+5 \mathrm{r}=50$
