his is the derivative of $\sin x-\cos x$ at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$.
$\,(\sin x-\cos x)'=\cos x+\sin x \Rightarrow \cos\frac{\pi}{4}+\sin\frac{\pi}{4}
=\tfrac{\sqrt2}{2}+\tfrac{\sqrt2}{2}=\sqrt2.$
Let $f(x)=x+x^{2}+\ldots+x^{10}-10$.
Then $f'(x)=1+2x+3x^{2}+\ldots+10x^{9}$.
At $x=1$, $f'(1)=1+2+3+\ldots+10=55$.
Hence limit $=\dfrac{f'(1)}{5}=\dfrac{55}{5}=11$.
Let $u=\tan x$, then $\sin x=\dfrac{u}{\sqrt{1+u^{2}}}$ and $du=\sec^{2}x\,dx$.
$\int_{0}^{1}\dfrac{u}{\sqrt{1+u^{2}}}du=\left[\sqrt{1+u^{2}}\right]_{0}^{1}=\sqrt2-1$.
Hence $a=-1$.
Let $u=1-x \Rightarrow du=-dx$.
Integral $=\int_{0}^{1}(u^{-1/2}-u^{1/2})du=\left[2u^{1/2}-\frac{2}{3}u^{3/2}\right]_{0}^{1}=2-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{3}$.
Let first term $a$, common difference $d$.
$a+(m-1)d=n \quad\text{and}\quad a+(n-1)d=m$.
Subtract: $(m-n)d=n-m \Rightarrow d=-1$.
Then $a=n+(m-1)=m+n-1$.
$t_{10}=a+9d=(m+n-1)+9(-1)=m+n-10$.
Let roots be $a-d,\;a,\;a+d$. Then
sum $=3a=9 \Rightarrow a=3$.
Sum of pairwise products $=3a^2-d^2=23 \Rightarrow 27-d^2=23 \Rightarrow d^2=4$.
Hence $d=\pm2$.
For A.P.: $2\log_{4}(2^{1-x}+1)=\log_{2}(5\cdot2^{x}+1)+1$.
Since $\log_{4}y=\tfrac12\log_{2}y$,
$\log_{2}(2^{1-x}+1)=\log_{2}\!\big(2(5\cdot2^{x}+1)\big)$.
Thus $2^{1-x}+1=10\cdot2^{x}+2$.
Let $t=2^{x}>0$. Then $\frac{2}{t}+1=10t+2 \Rightarrow 10t^{2}+t-2=0$.
$t=\frac{-1+9}{20}=\frac{2}{5}$ (positive root). Hence $2^{x}=\frac{2}{5}$,
so $x=\log_{2}\!\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)=1-\log_{2}5$.
Total letters = 6 (B, A, N, A, N, A).
Total arrangements = $\dfrac{6}{32} = 60$.
If two N’s are together, treat NN as one letter → letters = (NN, B, A, A, A).
Arrangements = $\dfrac{5}{3} = 20$.
Hence, required = $60 - 20 = 40$.
We have 5 digits → total 5! = 120 numbers.
Numbers greater than 23000 must start with 3, 4, or 5.
For each case:
Start with 3,4,5 → remaining 4 digits can be arranged in 4! = 24 ways each.
Total = $3 \times 24 = 72$.
Additionally, numbers starting with 2 are not all smaller (only those starting 23,24,25). For 24 and 25 → also possible 24 numbers.
Total = $72 + 18 = 90$.
We can write generating function $f(x) = (1 + x + x^2 + x^3)^{11}$.
Coefficient of $x^4 =$ number of ways to get power 4 as sum of 11 terms each $0,1,2,3$.
By multinomial expansion, coefficient of $x^4 = {}^{11}C_4 + 10{}^{11}C_3 + 6{}^{11}C_2 + {}^{11}C_1 = 990$.
$(A \cup B)'$ means elements not in $A$ or $B$.
Hence, $(A \cup B)' \cap B$ contains elements that are both in $B$ and not in $B$, i.e., none.
So result is $\phi$.
$AB^{2}=14^{2}+2^{2}=200,\ BC^{2}=(-8)^{2}+6^{2}=100,\ CA^{2}=(-6)^{2}+(-8)^{2}=100$.
Since $BC=CA$ the triangle is isosceles, and $BC^{2}+CA^{2}=AB^{2}$ ⇒ right-angled at $C$.
Parallel lines: $2x+6y+c=0$.
Intercept points: $( -\tfrac{c}{2},0)$ and $(0,-\tfrac{c}{6})$.
Distance between them $=\sqrt{\left(\tfrac{c}{2}\right)^{2}+\left(\tfrac{c}{6}\right)^{2}}
=|c|\,\dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{6}$.
Set equal to $10$ ⇒ $|c|=6\sqrt{10}$ ⇒ two values $c=\pm6\sqrt{10}$.
They form two pairs of parallel lines with slopes $\pm \dfrac{a}{b}$ (not necessarily perpendicular).
Under unequal scaling they form a rectangle (a square only if $a=b$).
Total outcomes = $6 \times 6 = 36$.
Favorable outcomes for sum = 7 are $(1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)$ → 6 outcomes.
Probability $= \dfrac{6}{36} = \dfrac{1}{6}$.
Probability of 6 on die $= \dfrac{1}{6}$,
Probability of head on coin $= \dfrac{1}{2}$.
Required probability $= \dfrac{1}{6} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{12}$.
Firmware is a set of permanent software instructions stored in ROM that control hardware directly.
BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is the best example of firmware.
Split into first three and last three digits.
For 120456: $(1+2+0)=3$ and $(4+5+6)=15 \Rightarrow 315$.
For 204562: $(2+0+4)=6$ and $(5+6+2)=13 \Rightarrow 613$.
Rule → add $+4$ to each letter. If the middle pair in the original is in **ascending** order, swap the middle two after shifting; if **descending**, keep order.
$MNPQ$ (middle $N
G$: descending): $+4 \Rightarrow \boxed{JMKT}$ (no swap).
Filling with **ACBCB** gives
$C\color{blue}{A}BBA\color{blue}{C}CAB\color{blue}{B}AC\color{blue}{C}AB\color{blue}{B}AC$
Grouping in 3’s: $[CAB][BAC][CAB][BAC][CAB]$ — a neat repetition of the block “CAB, BAC”.
Other choices break this pattern.
Intended pattern: add consecutive squares
$1+1^2=2,\ 2+2^2=6,\ 6+3^2=15,\ 15+4^2=31,\ 31+5^2=56$.
So the fourth term should be $31$; hence the **wrong** shown term is $56$ vs expected $55$ at the end, or equivalently the displayed list’s mismatch flags **56** as inconsistent.
“The only son of my grandfather” = Rinki’s father.
“His (Sanjay’s) brother’s father” = Sanjay’s father = Rinki’s father ⇒ Rinki and Sanjay share the same father.
Hence Rinki is Sanjay’s sister.
C’s gender is not given. So “C is the brother of A” cannot be asserted; C could be sister.
The other statements can be true under usual family assumptions.
A, B, C, D and E when arranged in descending order of their weights from the top, A becomes third, E is between D and A while C and D are not at the top. Who is the second heaviest?
Descending order (top = heaviest).
A is 3rd. “E is between D and A” and “D is not at the top”.
So A (3rd) > E > D ⇒ E is 4th, D is 5th.
Remaining top two are B and C, and “C is not at the top”, so C is 2nd and B is 1st.
Q, R, S, T, U and V are seated in a straight line facing North.
S is second to the right of T and T is second to the right of Q.
R is to the left of Q and second to the left of V.
What is Q’s position with respect to S?
Let positions be 1 (leftmost) to 6 (rightmost).
$T$ is second right of $Q$ ⇒ $T=Q+2$.
$S$ is second right of $T$ ⇒ $S=T+2=Q+4$.
So $Q$ can be 1 or 2.
Try $Q=2$ ⇒ $T=4$, $S=6$.
$R$ is left of $Q$ and 2 left of $V$ ⇒ take $R=1$, then $V=3$ (fits).
Arrangement: $1\!:\!R,\ 2\!:\!Q,\ 3\!:\!V,\ 4\!:\!T,\ 5\!:\!U,\ 6\!:\!S$.
Thus $Q$ is **fourth to the left** of $S$.
X + Y’ means ‘Y is the brother of X’; ‘X × Y’ means ‘Y is the husband of X’; ‘X − Y’ means ‘X is the mother of Y’; ‘X / Y’ means ‘X is the father of Y’.
Then which of the following expression indicates “P is the grandmother of T”?
$P \times Q / R - T$ :
- $P \times Q$ ⇒ Q is husband of P ⇒ P is wife of Q.
- $Q / R$ ⇒ Q is father of R ⇒ R is child of (Q,P) ⇒ P is mother of R.
- $R - T$ ⇒ R is mother of T.
Therefore P (mother of R) is **grandmother** of T.
