0 0 0
[Bt] = M L T
0 0 0
[B] [T] = M L T

4) Question Explanation:
We need to find the values of x, y and z such that (Px Qy Cz) is dimensionless.
Concept:
This question is based on dimensional analysis.
Solution:
0 0 0
Px Qy Cz = M L T
0 0 0

Equating the process of M, L and T
for M : x + y = 0 ......(1)
for L : –x + 2 = 0 ......(2)
for T : –2x – 3y – 2 = 0 ......(3)
from equation (2), we get z = x, substitute z = x into equation (3)
–2x – 3y – x = 0
–3x – 3y = 0
x + y = 0 ......(4) same as equation (1)
from equation (1), y = –x
since, x, y, z are non-zero integers, lets try a simple-zero
integer for x, for example x = 1
if x = 1, then y = –1 and z = 1
the values x = 1, y = –1, z = 1 satisfy all equations

a+b=0
2a + b = 1
–2a – 2b + c = 0
2a – a = 1
a=1
b = –1 and c = 0
∴ L = EaFbTc = E1F–1 or length = energy/force

49) Explain the question : Find 'n' for (C3O2)n from V.D. = 34.
Concept : This question is based on vapour density & molar mass.
Solution :
First, calculate the molecular mass (M) from the vapour density (V.D.) using the relationship
molar mass = 2 × vapour density. This gives M = 2 × 34 = 68 g/mol. Next, calculate the mass
of the empirical formula unit (C3O2): Empirical mass = (3 × 12) + (2 × 16) = 36 + 32 = 68
g/mol. The molecular mass is 'n' times this empirical mass, so molar mass = n × (empirical
mass). Therefore, 68 = n × 68, which means n = 1.
Final answer : (1)

individual team sizes and the overlaps between them.
Concept: Set Theory; Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion for three sets.
Solution:
Let C, H, F denote the sets of members who are on the cricket team, hockey team and football
team respectively. Then we are given n(C) = 21, n(H) = 26, n(F) =
29 n(H ∩ C) = 14, n(H ∩ F) = 15, n(F ∩ C) = 12 n(C ∩ H ∩ F) = 8 n(C ∪ H ∪ F) = n(C) + (H)
+ n(F) – n(C ∩ H) – n(H ∩ F) – n(F ∩ C) + n(C ∩ H ∩ F) Hence, n(C ∪ H ∪ F) = (21 + 26 + 29)
– (14 + 15 + 12) + 8 = 43

Solution:
Let BW = Number of Bengal white tigers,
BR = Number of Bengal royal tigers,

60) Explain Question: Calculate the difference between the number of elements in the union
of three sets and the size of set C.
Concept: Set Theory; Power Sets (2n) and solving exponential equations.
Solution:
∵ n(A) + n(B) + n(C) = n(A∪B∪C)
⇒ 2|A| + 2|B| + 2|C| = 2|A∪B∪C|
⇒ 2100 + 2100 + 2|C| = 2|A∪B∪C|
⇒ 2101 + 2|C| = 2|A∪B∪C|
Clearly |C| = 101 and |A∪B∪C| = 102
∴ |A∪B∪C| – |C| = 1

61) Explain Question: Find the total number of valid ordered pairs (P, Q) that make the
number N divisible by both 8 and 9.
Concept: Number Theory; divisibility rules for 8 and 9 applied to find multiple solutions.
Solution:
N = 7 8 7 4 9 5 8 P 9 6 Q.
N is divisible by 8 ⇒ 9 6 Q is divisible by 8.
⇒ Q = 0, 8
N is also divisible by 9
⇒ (7 + 8 + 7 + 4 + 9 + 5 + 8 + P + 9 + 6 + Q) is also divisible by 9.
⇒ 9 divides 63 + P + Q
When Q = 0
⇒ 9 divides 63 + P
⇒ P = 0, 9
When Q = 8
⇒ 9 divides 63 + 8 + P
⇒ P=1
So, (P, Q) = {(0,0), (9,0), (1,8)}.

subsets of two finite sets.
Concept: Number of Subsets and Equations
Solution: Let 2m and 2n be the number of subsets of set A and set B, respectively. The problem
states 2m=2n+112. We solve the exponential equation for m and n (integers) and calculate their
product.
Calculation:
2m−2n=112
Assume m>n (since the difference is positive).
2n(2m−n−1)=112
Prime factorization of 112: 112=16×7=24×7.
Equating the powers of 2 and the odd factors:
2n=24⟹n=4.
2m−n−1=7⟹2m−n=8=23.
m−n=3⟹m−4=3⟹m=7
The required value is m⋅n=7⋅4=28.
