Reading Comprehension

Step 1 Identifying the Argument: The argument goes something like this: 1. Fullerenes synthesised in laboratory requires distinctive pressure and temperature 2. Fullerenes are now found in nature 3. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate the state of Earths crust at the time naturally occurring fullerenes were formed. Options:4) Of the older adults who contract influenza, relatively few contract it from children with influenza. What this option is addressing is the premise Children is more likely to contract and spread influenza. When it tries to attack this premise, it CANNOT strengthen the argument. Hence, INCORRECT.

Question:

If 2p is the square of a natural number, then which of the following is false? (Given : p is a natural number greater than 1)

In every square, we have even powers of all prime numbers. Now since 2p is a perfect square, p has to be an even number, this rules out option (b). Which also means that p2 is divisible by 4. Thus, ruling out option (a). Now the square root of 2p will have a factor of 2 in it. Thus, it will also be even. Hence, (e).

he center of the square is the same point as the center of the circle Draw lines! Depending on what the stimulus asks for, draw in lines that create simple shapes. (Squares can be turned into triangles, for example.) Shared angles will normally not be explicitly stated, unless necessary. Trust the pictures, but not too much. Inferences must be drawn from fact. Just because it looks like 90degrees doesnt mean it is! (Many of these common inferences will be detailed in this series.) Lengths cannot be negative. Be careful in DS questions that pose equations in the context of quadratic equations with two solutions. If one solution is negative and the other is positive, only the positive solution remains and the information is sufficient.

For circles:

d=2r and all lines from the center to the exterior equal r. C = 2r = d A = r NEVER use 2r unless you are adding the areas of identical circles! Tangent lines create right angles with the radius that meets that tangent. If you know r, you know everything about the circle! Use = 22/7 with caution. Remember 22/7 > .

For squares:

The diagonal equals s2, since it creates 45-degree angles. The intersection of the diagonals creates a right angle. When a circle is inscribed inside a square, the side equals the diameter.

Perpendiculars drawn from the incentre of the triangle to each side are equal in length.

What will be the last digit of

Further explanation of the concepts involved : If you analyze the powers of 2, which means 2, 22, 23 etc. you'll get their numerical values as 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and so on. Here, you can see that the last digit of these numbers repeat after every four numbers (this is called cyclicity). What this means is that the digits 2, 4, 8 and 6 (in that order) appear in a cyclic order as the last digit of numbers which are higher powers of 2. So, if we know exactly what type of power 2 has, we can find out the last digit of the entire number itself. Let me explain If the number is of type 24k (where k is a natural number) like 24, 28 etc. then the last digit of this number will be 6. If its 2(4k+1) then last digit will be 2. If its 2(4k+2) then last digit will be 4. If its 2(4k+3) then last digit will be 6.

So, in this question we are trying to figure out the remainder left when the power of , which is 45 3 , is divided by 4. Now 3 leaves a remainder of -1 when divided by 4. You can also see that in 345, 3 is multiplied 45 times which means some even number of times. So, the remainder -1 will be multiplied even number of times and hence will give 1. Hence, 345 when divided by 4, should give a remainder of 1. So, 345 is of type 4k+1 and 2345 is of type 24k+1.

Hence last digit of 2345 will be 2 (as explained above) Similarly we have calculated the last digit for 31535 See that the cyclicity of last digit of powers of 3 is 4 again (in the order 3, 9, 7 and 1).

If X is the smallest number that is divisible by both 6 and 5, than find the maximum possible power of 10 that would completely divide the product of the first 20 multiples of X. Ans- Product of first 20 multiples of 30 can be written as (30)20[20!]. (30)20has 20 zeros and 20! has 4 zeros. Hence total number of zeros is 24.

The Centroid and Incenter will always lie inside the triangle. About the other points,

- For an acute angled triangle, the Circumcenter and the Orthocenter will lie inside the triangle.

- For an obtuse angled triangle, the Circumcenter and the Orthocenter will lie outside the triangle.

- For a right-angled triangle, the Circumcenter will lie at the midpoint of the hypotenuse and the Orthocenter will lie at the vertex at which the angle is 90.

Funda 3

The orthocenter, centroid, and circumcenter always lie on the same line known as Euler Line.

- The orthocenter is twice as far from the centroid as the circumcenter is.

- If the triangle is Isosceles then the incenter lies on the same line.

- If the triangle is equilateral, all four are the same point.

Funda 7: Parallelograms

A parallelogram inscribed in a circle is always a Rectangle. A parallelogram circumscribed about a circle is always a Rhombus. So, a parallelogram that can be circumscribed about a circle and in which a circle can be inscribed will be aSquare.

Each diagonal divides a parallelogram in two triangles of equal area.

Sum of squares of diagonals = Sum of squares of four sides, AC2 + BD2 = AB2 + BC2 + CD2 + DA2

A Rectangle is formed by intersection of the four angle bisectors of a parallelogram.

From all quadrilaterals with a given area, the square has the least perimeter. For all quadrilaterals with a given perimeter, the square has the greatest area.
