Hence they have 18 kg of the remaining material, which Constitutes 408 of the fresh dates. Thus there must be 45 kg of fresh dates. Hence (3. But each sub-bracket is greater than 2, since p,q and rare distinct. Hence the overall results more than 1 Hence (2). 3.

Required values of a and bare (5, 0), (6, 11,(7,2) (8, 3), 8,4), (1,6), 7), (3,8) and (4, 9).Thus there are 9 such numbers. Hence, [4] 13, #=b, » s.x.loga=logb _y. logb: logb Toga sayz 1. Hence, [1] 414. We can see that the three triangles AOD, ECO and OBF are similar to each other and toA 22. Since their areas are in the ratio 16 : 9 : 36, their sides must be in the ratio 4:3 : 6. Let us say {AO}, HEC) and (08) are 4x, 3x and 6x respectively. Also, we can note that AOEX, COBY and DOFZ are parallelogratrs. Hence Me) = (AO) = 4x and CY) = 08) = 6x. Thus we can say that XY) = 4x Now 8 XYZ ~ & AOD and so their areas too will be proportional to the square of their sides; and since A(Q AOD) = 16, we can find Ala X¥2) = 169, Hence (2) 15, White rook can be placed in any of the 64 squares on the chess board.

Squares of odd numbers of the form 3k are divisible by 3 while squares of odd numbers of other two types are not divisible by 3 31° = 961 and 32’ = 1024, Therefore there are 31 perfect squares between 1 and 1000, Out of 31, 16 are odd numbers (1, 3, 34) out of which 5 numbers are of the form 3k (3,9, 15, 24 and 27) ‘+ Required number of numbers = 16 5 = 11. Hence, (3} Ratio of work of X/Yis 6/5 as ratio of time required to do a work is 5/6. Thus in second half of the wark when X completes 6p worky finishes Sp work. Als in first half when x finishes Sp+5p-= 1 1p work. Thus answer is (6p#1 1p)/sp ie 17/5.

To sell 100 feet, the shopkeeper must buy 108 feet (since 8 ft go waste) at a cost of 108x. Now he sells the 100 feet ata profit of 2038, 120x. Consequently, his proft will bbe 12x/ 108x = 1/9 = 11.11%, Hence (4) 23. Wehave, +t so905 +-(aa-aall Hence [2]Hence, fl 25, a a d o € (Octagon ABCDEFGH is as shown.

Therefore there were total 1000 votes that were not cast in favour of any candidate, Out of these, 250 voters did not vote for A and 400 voters did not vote for B, So total number of voters who did net vote for C is 1000-250: 400350. Therefore fewer voters did not vote for A (and hence more voters voted for A) than for B or C. ‘Therefore A won the election. Hence [1] 4.
