51) Let

Now

x3 = 14 + 3 (49–50) x
x3 = 14 – 3x
x3 + 3x –14 = 0
which is satisfied by x = 2.

52)

xy – 3x – 2y = 54
xy – 3x – 2y + 6 = 54 + 6
⇒ x(y – 3) – 2(y – 3) = 60
⇒ (x – 2) (y – 3) = 60
1 × 60, 2 × 30, 3 × 20, 4 × 15, 5 × 12, 6 × 10, 10 × 6, 12 × 5, 15 × 4, 20 × 3, 30 × 2, 60 × 1
Total 12 possible combinations of x – 2 and y – 3 so it will be same for x, y.

53)

n(A ∪ B) ≥ n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)

100 ≥ 89 + 98 – n(A ∪ B)
n(A ∪ B) ≥ 87
87 ≤ n(A ∪ B) ≤ 89

x=

x=1+
2x2 + x = 2x + 1 + x
2x2 – 2x – 1 = 0

x= x=

x= 2x – 1 = ±

x= (2x – 1)2 = 3

62) x = 2.016666.....
100x = 201.6666......
1000x = 2016.6666......
On subtracting 900x = 1815

63) The correct answer is [1]

64) 1x3y6 is divisible by 18, the it will be divisible by 9 also.

Thus, sum of digit of the number = 10 + x + y should be 18.

Given,

65)

r(x) = ax + b
R(1) = 2 = a + b
R(–1) = –2 = –a + b
(a, b) = (2, 0)

73) Question Explanation: Evaluate the sum of the fourth powers of three variables given
the sum, sum of pairwise products, and product of the variables.

Concept: Algebraic Identities for Symmetric Polynomials

Solution: (a + b+ c)2 = 1
a2 + b2 + c2 = 1 – 2(ab + bc + ca) = –3
(ab + bc + ca)2 = 4
a2b2 + b2c2 + c2a2 + 2abc(a + b + c) = 4
a2b2 + b2c2 + c2a2 = 4 – 6 × 1 = –2
(a2 + b2 + c2) = (–3)2
a4 + b4 + c4 + 2(a2b2 + b2c2 + c2a2) = 9
a4 + b4 + c4 = 9 + 4 = 13

Final Answer: 13

Question Explanation: Find the number of students who did not take any of the three drinks
based on survey data.
Concept: Cardinality of Complement of Union (Inclusion-Exclusion)
Solution: Let M,C,T be the sets of students preferring Milk, Coffee, and Tea. We find the
number of students who took at least one drink, n(M∪C∪T), and subtract this from the total
surveyed.
Calculation: Given: n(U)=100.
n(M∩C∩T)=10.
n(M∩C)=20,n(C∩T)=30,n(M∩T)=25.
n(only M)=12,n(only C)=5,n(only T)=8.
Here,

n(M∩C∩T′)=20−10=10.
n(M∩T∩C′)=25−10=15.
n(C∩T∩M′)=30−10=20.

A. Find n(M∪C∪T) (Using the sum of disjoint regions):

n(M∪C∪T)=n(only M)+n(only C)+n(only T)+n(only M∩C)+n(only M∩T)+n(only C∩T)+n(M∩C

∩T)
n(M∪C∪T)=12+5+8+10+15+20+10=80

B. Find n(did not take any):

n((M∪C∪T)′)=n(U)−n(M∪C∪T)=100−80=20

Final Answer: 20

75) A = {2,4,6,8,....,100}
B = {3,6,9,....,99}
C = A ∩ B = {6,12,18,....,96}
∴ n(C) = 16
Sum of digits = 1 + 6 = 7
