a, b, c having exactly one 5 with :
(i) 2 even digits (different or same) :
4 3!
C2.3! + 4C1. = 48
2!
(ii) one digit divisible by 4 and one odd:

A04/1/012. Number of ordered triplets (a, b, c) where 1 a, b, c 10, such that 2a + 3b + 5c is a multiple of 4 is :
(A) 1000 (B) 500 (C) 250 (D) 125
Ans. B
Sol. 2a + 3b + 5c = 2a + (4 – 1)b + (4 + 1)c
= 2a + 41 + (– 1)b + 42 + (1)c (1, 2 are integers)
If a = 1, b should be even and c can be any number. On the other hand, if a 1, b should be odd and c can
be any number
Total number of ordered pairs = 5 × 10 + 9 × 5 × 10 = 500.
A04/1/013. How many positive integers are there such that n is a divisor of one of the numbers 1040 , 2030 :
(A) 2301 (B) 3572 (C) 1271 (D) 1681
Ans. A
Sol. We first note that the number of positive divisors of a positive integer n is (a1 + 1) (a2 + 1) (ak + 1) .
If n = P1a1 P2a 2 ......Pka k where p1,...., pk are integers.
Now, a = 1040 = 240 540 ; b = 2030 = 260 530
g.c.d of a,b is c = 240 530
Let A, B denote the sets of divisors of a, b respectively. Then A B is set of divisors of c.
|A| = 4a2 ; |B| = 61 × 31 ; |A B| = 41 × 31
Hence |A B| = 1681 + 1891 – 1271 = 2301

manner is :
(A) 35 (B) 40 (C) 45 (D) 50
Ans. A
Sol. Given A(1, 2) and B(5, 5). Difference of x coordinates 5 – 1 = 4
Exactly 4 rightward steps are needed.
Difference of y coordinates = 5 – 2 = 3.
Exactly 3 upward steps are needed.
Note: Order of the steps is immaterial.

MATRIX JEE ACADEMY : Piprali Road, Sikar Ph. 01572-241911, [Link] 6
Product of divisors = 1.2.3….480.720.1440. Here all the 36 divisors are written in the
increasing order. They can be clubbed into 18 pairs, as shown below.
(1.1440).(2.720).(3.480) . etc.
Product of divisors (1440)18 = 290.336.518 = (23.3)30.36.518 = 2430.36.518 which is divisible by 24x

can be subtracted from n2 without borrowing, is :
(A) 55.(54) (B) 45.(55) (C) 45.(55)2 (D) 55.(45)2
Ans. C
Sol. Given n1 = x1x2x3 and n2 = y1y2y3
n1 and n2 can be subtracted without borrowing at any stage, if xi yi
Value of x3 Value of y3

Thus, x3 and y3 can be selected collectively by 10 + 9 + 8 + ....... + 1 = 55 ways. Similarly, (x2, y2) can be
selected in 55 ways. But pair (x1y1) can be selected in 1+ 2 + 3 +....+ 9 = 45 ways as in this pair we cannot
have zero.
Thus, total number of ways in 45.(55)2
