4.Whatisthesumofallevenintegersbetween99and301?
A.40000
B.20000
C.40400
D.20200
Answer:D
Thefirstevennumberafter99is100andlastevennumberbelow301is300.Wehaveto
findthesumofevennumbersfrom100to300.i.e.,100+102+104+...............300.
Take2Common.2x(50+51+...........150)
Therearetotal101termsinthisseries.Soformulaforthesumofntermswhenfirstterm
andlasttermisknownisn2(a+l)
So50+51+...........150=1012(50+150)
So2x1012 (50+150)=20200

A.98
B.94
C.96
D.99
Answer:C
Wetaketwooddnumbersas(2n+1)and(2n1).
Theirsumshouldbelessthan100.So(2n+1)+(2n1)<1004n<100.
Thelargest4multiplewhichislessthan100is96
7.x2 <1/100,andx<0whatisthehighestrangeinwhichxcanlie?
A.1/10<x<0
B.1<x<0

Answer:A
Remember:
(xa)(xb)<0thenvalueofxliesinbetweenaandb.
(xa)(xb)>0thenvalueofxdoesnotlieinbetweenaandb.or(,a)and(b,)
ifa<b
x2<1/100
(x21/100)<0(x2(1/10)2)<0(x1/10)(x+1/10)<0

WeknowthatA1 =2soA2 =A1+1 =A1 +2(1)=4
A3=A2+1=A2+2(2)=8
A4=A3+1=A3+2(3)=14
