  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $0$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$7$

(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 $= 7$.

Answer
Correct option: B.
$I$ is true but $II$ is false
b
(b)

$a^3+b^3+c^3=9 k_1 \Rightarrow a b c=3 k_2$

Possibility of $a, b, c$ can be

$3 k _1, 3 k _1+1$ or $3 k _1+2$

$C - I :\left(3 k_1\right)^3+\left(3 k_1+1\right)^3+\left(3 k_1+2\right)^3$

$=9 k ^{\prime}+9$

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:

$a^3+b^3+c^3=9 k$

$=3 a b c+(a+b+c) \cdot\left((a+b+c)^2-3(a b+b c+c a)\right)$

$9 k =3 a b c+(a+b+c)^3-3(a+b+c)(a b+b c+c a)$

$\text { divide both side by } 3$

$3 k =a b c+\frac{(a+b+c)^3}{3}-(a+b+c)(a b+b c+c a)$

$\therefore a+b+c=3\,m \quad \because 3 \text { is prime }$

$\Rightarrow \therefore a b c=3\,t$

$\text { for second take } a=1, b=2, c=1, d=2$

  • both the sets $A$ and $B$ are empty
  • B
    the set $A$ is empty but the set $B$ is non-empty
  • C
    the set $A$ is non-empty and the set $B$ is empty
  • D
    both the sets $A$ and $B$ are non-empty
Answer
Correct option: A.
both the sets $A$ and $B$ are empty
a
(a)

$x ^2- x -1=0$

$x =\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$

$\lambda=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}, 1-\lambda=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$

$a _{ n }=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\left(\lambda^{ n }-(1-\lambda)^{ n }\right) \forall n \in N$

$a _{ n }=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\left(\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{ n }-\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{ n }\right)$

$a _{ n }=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5} \cdot 2^{ n }}\left[(1+\sqrt{5})^{ n }-(1-\sqrt{5})^{ n }\right]$

$(1+\sqrt{5})^{ n }=1+{ }^{ n } C_1 \sqrt{5}+{ }^{ n } C_2(\sqrt{5})^2+\ldots$

$(1-\sqrt{5})^{ n }=1-{ }^{ n } C_1 \sqrt{5}+{ }^{ n } C_2(\sqrt{5})^2-\ldots$

$(1+\sqrt{5})^{ n }-(1-\sqrt{5})^{ n }$

$=2\left[{ }^{ n } C _1 \sqrt{5}+{ }^{ n } C_3 5 \sqrt{5}+{ }^{ n } C_5 5^2 \sqrt{5}+\ldots\right]$

So $a _{ n }=\frac{\left[{ }^{ n } C_1+{ }^{ n } C_3 5+{ }^{ n } C_5 5^2+\ldots\right]}{2^{ n -1}}$

$a _{ n }=\frac{2 \Sigma^{ n } C_{ r } 5^{ r }}{2^{ n }}$ where $r$ is odd

$a _{ n }=\frac{(1+5)^{ n }-(1-5)^{ n }}{2^{ n }}=\frac{6^{ n }-(-4)^{ n }}{2^{ n }}$

$a _{ n }=3^{ n }-(-2)^{ n } \in I \forall n \in N$

$\Rightarrow A \in \phi ; B \in \phi$

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 $n !$

  • A
    $I$ and $II$ are true
  • B
    $I$ and $II$ are false
  • C
    $I$ is true and $II$ is false
  • $I$ is false and $II$ is true
Answer
Correct option: D.
$I$ is false and $II$ is true
d
(d)

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.

Let $N_1=2^{55}+1$ and $N_2=165$.Then
  • A
    $N_1$ and $N_2$ are coprime
  • B
    the $HCF$ (Highest Common Factor) of $N_1$ and $N_2$ is $55$
  • C
    the $HCF$ of $N_1$ and $N_2$ is $11$
  • the $HCF$ of $N_1$ and $N_2$ is $33$
Answer
Correct option: D.
the $HCF$ of $N_1$ and $N_2$ is $33$
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 $33$

The fractional part of a real number $x$ is $x-[x]$ where $[x]$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$. Let $F_1$ and $F_2$ be the fractional parts of $(44-\sqrt{2017})^{2017}$ and $(44+\sqrt{2017})^{2017}$, respectively. Then, $F_1+F_2$ lies bet ween the numbers
  • A
    $0$ and $0.45$
  • B
    $0.45$ and $0.9$

  • D
    $1.35$ and $1.8$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$0.9$ and $1.35$
c
(c)

We have,

$F_1$ and $F_2$ be the fractional part of

$(44-\sqrt{2017})^{2017}$ and $(44+\sqrt{2017})^{2017}$

$\Rightarrow \quad(44+\sqrt{2017})^{2017}=I+F_2$

$\Rightarrow \quad(44-\sqrt{2017})^{2017}=F_1$

$[\because 0<44-\sqrt{2017}<1]$

$\therefore I+F_1+F_2$

$=2\left({ }^{2017} C_{ \theta }(44)^{2017}+{ }^{2017} C_2(44)^{2015}\right.$

$(2017)+\ldots]$

$\Rightarrow I+F_1+F_2=2$ (integer)

$\therefore I+F_1+F_2$ is an even integer.

$\therefore F_1+F_2$ is also integer.

But, $F_1+F_2$ is an integer.

$\therefore \quad F_1+F_2=1$

Hence, $F_1^{\prime}+F_2$ is lie between $0.9$ and $1.35$

Let

$\quad p(x) =1+x^2+x^4+x^6+\ldots+x^{34}$

$\Rightarrow \quad p(x) =\frac{x^{36}-1}{x^2-1}$

$\Rightarrow \quad q(x) =1+x+x^2+x^3+\ldots+x^{17}$

$\Rightarrow \quad q(x) =\frac{x^{18}-1}{x-1}$

$\therefore \quad \frac{p(x)}{q(x)} =\left(\frac{x^{36}-1}{x^2-1}\right)\left(\frac{x-1}{x^{18}-1}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{p(x)}{q(x)} =\frac{\left(x^{18}+1\right)\left(x^{18}-1\right)(x-1)}{(x+1)(x-1)\left(x^{18}-1\right)}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{p(x)}{q(x)} =\frac{x^{18}+1}{x+1}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{p(x)}{q(x)}= \frac{(x+1)\left(x^{17}-x^{16}+x^{15}-x^{14} \ldots-1\right)}{x+1}$

$-\left(2014^3+2013^3+\ldots+2^3+1^3\right)$

$\Rightarrow S=\frac{2 \times 8(1007)^2(1008)^2 \quad 2014^2 \times 2015^2}{4}$

$\Rightarrow S=(1007)^2\left[\frac{2 \times 8 \times(1008)^2-4 \times(2015)^2}{4}\right]$

$\Rightarrow S=(1007)^2\left[(2016)^2-(2015)^2\right]$

$\Rightarrow S=(1007)^2(2016+2015)(2016-2015)$

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 $11$

$\therefore \quad \frac{3^{2010}-1}{2} \div 11=\frac{3^{2010}-1}{22}$

$3^{2010}=\left(3^5\right)^{402}$

$=(243)^{402}=(242+1)^{402}$

  • B
    $116$
  • C
    $115$
  • D
    $117$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$118$
a
$\begin{aligned} & (1+x)\left(1-x^2\right)\left(1+\frac{3}{x}+\frac{3}{x^2}+\frac{1}{x^3}\right)^5 \\ & =(1+x)\left(1-x^2\right)\left(\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^3\right)^5 \\ & =\frac{(1+x)^2(1-x)(1+x)^{15}}{x^{15}} \\ & =\frac{(1+x)^{17}-x(1+x)^{17}}{x^{15}} \\ & =\operatorname{coeff}\left(x^3\right) \text { in the expansion } \approx \operatorname{coeff}\left(x^{18}\right) \text { in } \\ & (1+x)^{17}-x(1+x)^{17} \\ & =0-1 \\ & =-1 \\ & \text { coeff }\left(x^{-13}\right) \text { in the expansion } \approx \operatorname{coeff}\left(x^2\right) \quad \text { in }\end{aligned}$

$(1+x)^{17}-x(1+x)^{17}$

$=0-1$

$=-1$

$\operatorname{coeff}\left(\mathrm{x}^{-13}\right)$ in the expansion $\approx \operatorname{coeff}\left(\mathrm{x}^2\right)$ in

$(1+x)^{17}-x(1+x)^{17}$

$=\left(\begin{array}{c}17 \\ 2\end{array}\right)-\left(\begin{array}{c}17 \\ 1\end{array}\right)$

$=17 \times 8-17$

$=17 \times 7$

$=119$

Hence Answer $=119-1=118$

Correct option: B.
$54$
b
$\left(1+2 x-3 x^3\right)\left(\frac{3}{2} x^2-\frac{1}{3 x}\right)^9$

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$
