1. p +
p

= x + y and p
p

(given)
Adding both, we get
2p = 2x p = x
Now, subtracting both, we get
p

= 2y
p

Therefore, x =

xy = 1

(x 1) and (x + 1) are also factor f(x)
By factor theorem
f(1) = 0

p + q = 0 ...(i)
f( 1) = 0
1 p + 2 + 3 + q = 0
p + q = 6 ...(ii)
Add (i) and (ii)
2q = 6
q = 3, p = 3.

= have 5 non-zero digits
So, (101010101)
2
= have 9 non-zero digits
7. We have a + b + c = 6 ...(i)
(a + b + c)

, So, it is a number which is a
multiple of 9. So, 145157 + n also as multiple
of 9. So, as the sum of digit of 145157 is 23.
n = 4, So that it is divisible by 9.

74. First letter of every term is moved three steps
backward in each next term. Second number
of every term is moved two steps backward
and third letter is moved two steps forward.
Hence, the next choice would be T11E.

75. (B) In figure (A), (915 364) = 551.
In figure (B), (789 543) = 246.
In figure (C), missing number = (863 241)
= 622.
76. (B) Clearly
In figure A ] 6 3 4 2 = 18 8 = 10
In figure B ] 9 5 5 3 = 45 15 = 30
In figure C ] 6 5 2 5 = 30 10 = 20

(instead of 28)
11 + 28 = 29, So, 28 is the wrong term
81. First letter of first, second, third,.........terms
is moved three, four, five, ........steps forward
respectively. Similarly, second letter is moved
five, six, seven,......steps forward respectively
and third letter is moved seven, eight,
nine,........steps forward respectively. The
wrong term is NTA. So, the answer would be
MTA

84. Consider the English alphabet :
A B C D E F G I J K L M O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z H N
19 Letters from the right
14 Letters from the left
By counting 19 letters from the right and 14
letters from the left, we get the following
sequence in which K comes exactly middle.
H I J K L M N
86. (C) Total up position number of letters and divide
by the number of letters in each word.
87. From statement (i) we know that the word
FAMOUS has the letter M which is not
common in any other words and from its coding
we see that j is the letter which is not common
in any other coding. Hence, M stands for j.
88. From statements (ii) and (iv), ATE = hdn. From
statement (vi), TE = dn. From statement (iii),
T = n. Hence, E = d.
89. From statements (i) and (iii), F = c.
90. From statements (ii) and (iv), ATE = hdn.
From statement (vi), TE = dn. Therefore, A =
h.

8 9 6 9 7 8.
Thus, three such numbers are there.
99. (D) The required numbers in ascending order
are : 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36,
39, 42, 45. The 9th number from the top is 27.
100. Number of students behind Anil in rank
= (31 7) = 24. So, Anil is 25
th
from the
bottom.
Number of students behind Sunil in rank
= (31 11) = 20
So, Sunil is 21st from the bottom.
