How to find the coefficient of x^18 in the expansion of (x+x^2+x^3+...+x^6)^4
a)
It is similar to get a total of 18 on four dices
(6 - a) + (6 - b) + (6 - c) + (6 - d) = 6
=> a + b + c + d = 6
So, C(9, 3) - 4 (4 is subtracted for the case when a or b or c or d is 6)
=> 80 ways
=============================
Ramu mixes 2 litres of mineral water costing Rs. 15 per litre with 18 litres of
milk that he bought for Rs. 900. After selling 2 litres of this mixture to Shamu
, Ramu adds tap water so that the ratio of milk to tap water is 9:10. If tap wat
er is free and Ramu claims to sell at cost, what is his profit?
Option 1. The 2 litres given to Shamu contain milk and water in the ratio 9:1, i
.e., 1.8 litres of milk and 0.2 litres of water. The remaining 18 litres contain
s 16.2 litres of milk and 1.8 litres of water. After adding tap water, the ratio
of milk to water becomes 9:10. the quantity of tap water is 16.2 10/9 = 18 litr
es. Since the mixture already has 18 litres, the total quantity now becomes 36 l
itres. The total revenue is 36 50 + 2 50 (already sold) = 1900 The total cost is
900 + (2 15) = Rs. 930. Thus his profit is 1900 930 = Rs. 970 (970/930) 100 =
104%.
