Given: a1=4, an=5n an-1
To find: the value of a64
Method:
We can find the value of a64 by using the given recurrence relation recursively.
- Using the recurrence relation, we can find the value of a2 as follows:
a2 = 5(2) a1 = 5(2)(4) = 40
- Similarly, we can find the value of a3 as follows:
a3 = 5(3) a2 = 5(3)(40) = 600
- Continuing in this manner, we can find the value of an for any n.
- Now, to find the value of a64, we can use the recurrence relation repeatedly until we reach the desired value:
a64 = 5(64) a63 = 5(64)(5(63) a62) = 5(64)(5(63) (5(62) a61)) = … = 5(64)(5(63) … (5(2) a1))
- Substituting the value of a1 = 4, we get:
a64 = 5(64)(5(63) … (5(2) 4)) = 5(64)(5(63) … (5(2)))4
- We can simplify the expression by recognizing that the product 5(63) … (5(2)) is simply 5 raised to the power of the sum of the integers from 2 to 63, which can be calculated using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:
5 + 10 + 15 + … + 310 = (63/2)(5 + 310) = 1980
- Substituting this value, we get:
a64 = 5(64)(51980)4 = 103994
Therefore, the value of a64 is 10399.

Subhankar Malik answered |
Approach:
To solve this problem, we need to consider the relative positions of vowels and consonants in the word MANAGEMENT. We cannot change the order of vowels and consonants while sorting the letters.
Calculation:
- The word MANAGEMENT has 4 vowels (A, A, E, E) and 5 consonants (M, N, G, M, N, T).
- The number of ways to arrange the vowels among themselves = 4!/2! = 12 (dividing by 2! for repeated vowels)
- The number of ways to arrange the consonants among themselves = 5!/2! = 60 (dividing by 2! for repeated consonants)
- The total number of ways to arrange the letters while maintaining the relative positions of vowels and consonants = 12 * 60 = 720 * 3 = 2160
Correct Answer:
The correct answer is option D) 1080.

To find the sum of all 4-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, and 4 with no repetition, we need to consider all possible permutations of these digits.
We can solve this problem by breaking it down into smaller steps:
Step 1: Determine the total number of permutations
Since we have 4 digits and no repetition is allowed, the number of permutations can be calculated as 4 factorial (4!):
4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24
Step 2: Find the sum of all possible thousands digits
Since the thousands digit can be any of the four given digits (1, 2, 3, or 4), we need to find the sum of these digits and then multiply it by the number of permutations.
Sum of the digits = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10
Sum of the thousands digits = 10 x 24 = 240
Step 3: Find the sum of all possible hundreds digits
Similarly, the sum of the hundreds digits can be found by multiplying the sum of the digits (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) by the number of permutations.
Sum of the hundreds digits = 10 x 24 = 240
Step 4: Find the sum of all possible tens digits
Again, the sum of the tens digits can be found by multiplying the sum of the digits (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) by the number of permutations.
Sum of the tens digits = 10 x 24 = 240
Step 5: Find the sum of all possible units digits
The sum of the units digits can be found using the same method as above.
Sum of the units digits = 10 x 24 = 240
Step 6: Calculate the final sum
To find the sum of all 4-digit numbers, we need to add up the sums of the thousands, hundreds, tens, and units digits.
Final sum = Sum of thousands digits + Sum of hundreds digits + Sum of tens digits + Sum of units digits
Final sum = 240 + 240 + 240 + 240 = 960
Therefore, the correct answer is option A) 66660.

Given information:
- There is a group of 267 people.
- We need to determine the number of friends who have an identical number of friends in that group.
To solve this problem, we can use the Pigeonhole Principle.
Explanation:
The Pigeonhole Principle states that if we have more pigeons than pigeonholes, at least one pigeonhole must contain more than one pigeon.
In this context, we can consider each person in the group as a pigeon and the number of friends they have as pigeonholes. Since there are 267 people in the group, each person can have a maximum of 266 friends (excluding themselves).
If every person had a different number of friends, there would be a total of 266 different numbers of friends. However, since there are 267 people, there must be at least one number of friends that is shared by multiple people.
Therefore, the answer is option B) 2, indicating that there are at least two friends who have an identical number of friends in the group.
In other words, there are at least two people in the group who have the same number of friends.

Pigeonhole Principle:
If n pigeonholes are occupied by n+1 or more pigeons, then at least one pigeonhole is occupied by greater than one pigeon. Generalized pigeonhole principle is: - If n pigeonholes are occupied by kn+1 or more pigeons, where k is a positive integer, then at least one pigeonhole is occupied by k+1 or more pigeons.
The given data,
A professor gives five grades {A, B, C, D, F} n = 5

Rounak Choudhary answered |
Explanation:
When four coins are tossed simultaneously, the total number of outcomes can be calculated using the fundamental principle of counting. For each coin, there are two possible outcomes - either a head or a tail. Since there are four coins, the total number of outcomes is 2^4 = 16.
To determine the number of outcomes where at most two of the coins will turn up as heads, we need to consider three cases:
1. All four coins are tails
2. Exactly one coin is heads
3. Exactly two coins are heads
Case 1: All four coins are tails
In this case, there is only one outcome.
Case 2: Exactly one coin is heads
There are four ways to choose which coin will be heads. For each of these choices, the remaining three coins must be tails. Therefore, there are 4 outcomes in this case.
Case 3: Exactly two coins are heads
There are four ways to choose which two coins will be heads. For each of these choices, the remaining two coins must be tails. Therefore, there are 6 outcomes in this case.
Adding up the outcomes from all three cases, we get a total of 1 + 4 + 6 = 11 outcomes where at most two of the coins will turn up as heads.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 11.

Problem:
In a get-together party, every person present shakes the hand of every other person. If there were 90 handshakes in all, how many persons were present at the party?
Solution:
Let there be 'n' persons present at the party.
Each person shakes hands with every other person, so the total number of handshakes will be:
nC2 = n(n-1)/2
Given that the total number of handshakes is 90, so we have:
n(n-1)/2 = 90
n(n-1) = 180
n^2 - n - 180 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation, we get:
n = 14 or n = -13
Since the number of persons cannot be negative, so the number of persons present at the party is 14.
Answer: Option B (14)

To find the sequence generated by the generating function, we can expand the function as a power series.
We have:
4x/(1-x)² = 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2.
To find the coefficient of x^n in the expansion, we need to find the product of the coefficients of x^k in each term of the product, where k ranges from 0 to n.
For the term 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2, the coefficient of x^k is the sum of the products of the coefficients of x^i and x^j, where i + j = k.
So, for the term 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2, the coefficient of x^k is:
4 * (1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + (k-1) + k) = 4 * (k(k+1)/2) = 2k(k+1).
Therefore, the sequence generated by the generating function 4x/(1-x)² is given by the coefficients of x^n, which are 2n(n+1) for n ≥ 0.
So, the sequence is:
2(0)(0+1), 2(1)(1+1), 2(2)(2+1), 2(3)(3+1), ...
which simplifies to:
0, 4, 12, 24, ...
Therefore, the sequence generated by the generating function 4x/(1-x)² is:
0, 4, 12, 24, ...
We have:
4x/(1-x)² = 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2.
To find the coefficient of x^n in the expansion, we need to find the product of the coefficients of x^k in each term of the product, where k ranges from 0 to n.
For the term 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2, the coefficient of x^k is the sum of the products of the coefficients of x^i and x^j, where i + j = k.
So, for the term 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2, the coefficient of x^k is:
4 * (1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + (k-1) + k) = 4 * (k(k+1)/2) = 2k(k+1).
Therefore, the sequence generated by the generating function 4x/(1-x)² is given by the coefficients of x^n, which are 2n(n+1) for n ≥ 0.
So, the sequence is:
2(0)(0+1), 2(1)(1+1), 2(2)(2+1), 2(3)(3+1), ...
which simplifies to:
0, 4, 12, 24, ...

Explanation:
Cardinality is a measure of the size of a set, which is represented by a cardinal number. Two sets are said to have the same cardinality if there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the two sets.
- One-to-One Correspondence: A function f from set A to set B is said to be one-to-one if every element of A is mapped to a unique element of B. In other words, no two distinct elements of A are mapped to the same element of B. This is also known as an injective function.
- Many-to-One Correspondence: A function f from set A to set B is said to be many-to-one if there exist at least two distinct elements in A that are mapped to the same element in B. This is also known as a non-injective function.
- One-to-Many Correspondence: A function f from set A to set B is said to be one-to-many if there exists at least one element in B that is not mapped to by any element in A. This is also known as a non-surjective function.
- Many-to-Many Correspondence: A function f from set A to set B is said to be many-to-many if there exist at least two distinct elements in A that are mapped to the same element in B, and there exists at least one element in B that is not mapped to by any element in A.
Therefore, option 'A' is the correct answer as sets A and B have the same cardinality if and only if there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the two sets.

Problem:
In a colony, there are 55 members. Every member posts a greeting card to all the members. How many greeting cards were posted by them?
Solution:
To find the total number of greeting cards posted by all the members, we need to multiply the number of members by the number of greeting cards each member posts.
Number of members = 55
Number of greeting cards each member posts = 55
Total number of greeting cards posted = Number of members × Number of greeting cards each member posts
Total number of greeting cards posted = 55 × 55 = 3025
Therefore, the total number of greeting cards posted by all the members is 3025.
Answer: Option (c) 2970.

To find the total number of greeting cards posted by all the members, we need to multiply the number of members by the number of greeting cards each member posts.
Number of members = 55
Number of greeting cards each member posts = 55
Total number of greeting cards posted = Number of members × Number of greeting cards each member posts
Total number of greeting cards posted = 55 × 55 = 3025
Therefore, the total number of greeting cards posted by all the members is 3025.

Analysis:
We have a group of 73 persons and we need to determine which of the given statements is necessarily true. Let's analyze each statement to find the correct answer.
a) At least 10 persons were born in the same month:
To determine if this statement is true, we need to find the maximum number of persons that can be born in a single month. Since there are only 73 persons in the group, the maximum number of persons born in a single month can be 73. Therefore, it is possible that no more than 9 persons were born in the same month. Hence, statement a) is not necessarily true.
b) At least two months should have 8 persons born in:
To determine if this statement is true, we need to find the minimum number of persons that can be born in a single month. Since there are 73 persons in the group, the minimum number of persons born in a single month can be 1. Therefore, it is possible that no more than 1 person was born in each of the 12 months. Hence, statement b) is not necessarily true.
c) At least one month should have 7 persons born in:
To determine if this statement is true, we need to find the maximum number of persons that can be born in a single month. Since there are only 73 persons in the group, the maximum number of persons born in a single month can be 73. Therefore, it is possible that no more than 6 persons were born in each month. However, if all 12 months have 6 persons born in them, the total number of persons would be 72. Therefore, there must be at least one month where more than 6 persons are born in order to reach a total of 73 persons. Hence, statement c) is necessarily true.
d) At most 6 persons were born in every month:
To determine if this statement is true, we need to find the maximum number of persons that can be born in a single month. Since there are only 73 persons in the group, the maximum number of persons born in a single month can be 73. Therefore, it is possible that more than 6 persons were born in at least one month. Hence, statement d) is not necessarily true.
Conclusion:
After analyzing each statement, we can conclude that the correct answer is option 'C'. At least one month should have 7 persons born in it.

Understanding the Sequence
The sequence provided is: 1, 7, 25, 79, 241, 727. To find a simple formula for the nth term, we can analyze the differences between consecutive terms.
Calculating Differences
- First, let's identify the differences between the terms:
- 7 - 1 = 6
- 25 - 7 = 18
- 79 - 25 = 54
- 241 - 79 = 162
- 727 - 241 = 486
- The differences are: 6, 18, 54, 162, 486.
- Now, let's calculate the second differences:
- 18 - 6 = 12
- 54 - 18 = 36
- 162 - 54 = 108
- 486 - 162 = 324
- The second differences are: 12, 36, 108, 324, which have a common ratio (3).
Identifying the Formula
The pattern in the differences suggests a geometric progression, hinting that the nth term has an exponential factor.
- Observing the terms, we can propose a formula of the form:
\[ a_n = 3^n - 2 \]
- Testing this formula with the values:
- For n=1: \( a_1 = 3^1 - 2 = 1 \)
- For n=2: \( a_2 = 3^2 - 2 = 7 \)
- For n=3: \( a_3 = 3^3 - 2 = 25 \)
- For n=4: \( a_4 = 3^4 - 2 = 79 \)
- For n=5: \( a_5 = 3^5 - 2 = 241 \)
- For n=6: \( a_6 = 3^6 - 2 = 727 \)
Conclusion
All terms match the original sequence, confirming that the correct answer is indeed:
**Option B: \( 3^n - 2 \)**

- One grade is fixed for 4 students hence for remaining we have two option whether to include or not.
- Minimum number of students so that four of them are guaranteed to get the same grade = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16, option 3 is the correct answer.

Aditi Sarkar answered |
First, we need to find a pattern in the recurrence relation. Let's start by finding S2:
S2 = 4S1 + 12(2) = 4(7) + 24 = 52
Now let's find S3:
S3 = 4S2 + 12(3) = 4(52) + 36 = 220
We can continue this pattern to find Sn in terms of Sn-1:
Sn = 4Sn-1 + 12n
Substituting Sn-1 into this equation, we get:
Sn = 4(4Sn-2 + 12(n-1)) + 12n
Sn = 16Sn-2 + 48n + 12n
Sn = 16(4Sn-3 + 12(n-2)) + 48n + 12n
Sn = 64Sn-3 + 192n + 48n
Sn = 64(4Sn-4 + 12(n-3)) + 192n + 48n
...
We can see that the pattern continues with each term having a factor of 4 and a constant term of 12n. So, we can write:
Sn = 4kSn-k + 12n + 12n + ... + 12n (k times)
where k is the number of times we need to apply the recurrence relation to get to Sn.
To find k, we can set n = 1 and use the given values:
S1 = 4S0 + 12(1)
7 = 4(6) + 12
k = 1
So, we need to apply the recurrence relation once to get to Sn. Therefore:
Sn = 4S(n-1) + 12n
Sn = 4(4S(n-2) + 12(n-1)) + 12n
Sn = 16S(n-2) + 48n + 12n
Sn = 16(4S(n-3) + 12(n-2)) + 48n + 12n
...
Sn = 4^n S0 + 12(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n)
Using the formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers, we get:
Sn = 4^n(6) + 6n(n+1)
Therefore, the solution for the recurrence relation is:
an = 4^n(6) + 6n(n+1)
S2 = 4S1 + 12(2) = 4(7) + 24 = 52
Now let's find S3:
S3 = 4S2 + 12(3) = 4(52) + 36 = 220
We can continue this pattern to find Sn in terms of Sn-1:
Sn = 4Sn-1 + 12n
Substituting Sn-1 into this equation, we get:
Sn = 4(4Sn-2 + 12(n-1)) + 12n
Sn = 16Sn-2 + 48n + 12n
Sn = 16(4Sn-3 + 12(n-2)) + 48n + 12n
Sn = 64Sn-3 + 192n + 48n
Sn = 64(4Sn-4 + 12(n-3)) + 192n + 48n
...
We can see that the pattern continues with each term having a factor of 4 and a constant term of 12n. So, we can write:
Sn = 4kSn-k + 12n + 12n + ... + 12n (k times)
where k is the number of times we need to apply the recurrence relation to get to Sn.
To find k, we can set n = 1 and use the given values:
S1 = 4S0 + 12(1)
7 = 4(6) + 12
k = 1
So, we need to apply the recurrence relation once to get to Sn. Therefore:
Sn = 4S(n-1) + 12n
Sn = 4(4S(n-2) + 12(n-1)) + 12n
Sn = 16S(n-2) + 48n + 12n
Sn = 16(4S(n-3) + 12(n-2)) + 48n + 12n
...
Sn = 4^n S0 + 12(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n)
Using the formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers, we get:
Sn = 4^n(6) + 6n(n+1)
Therefore, the solution for the recurrence relation is:
an = 4^n(6) + 6n(n+1)

To find the recurrence relation for the sequence 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, we can observe that each term is obtained by doubling the previous term and then subtracting 1.
Let's denote the nth term of the sequence as aₙ.
From the given sequence, we have:
a₁ = 1
a₂ = 3
a₃ = 7
a₄ = 15
a₅ = 31
a₆ = 63
We can see that aₙ = 2aₙ₋₁ - 1 for n ≥ 2.
Therefore, the recurrence relation for the sequence 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63 is:
aₙ = 2aₙ₋₁ - 1, for n ≥ 2.

Look at the differences between terms: 1, 7, 31, 124,…. and these are growing by a factor of 4. So, 1⋅4 = 4, 7⋅4 = 28, 31⋅4 = 124, and so on. Note that we always end up with 3 less than the next term. So, bn = 4bn-1 + 3 is the recurrence relation and the initial condition is b0 = 1.

Solution to Recurrence Relation an= an-1 2n
Given recurrence relation is an= an-1 2n, with initial term a0= 2. We need to find the solution for this recurrence relation.
1. Finding the first few terms of the sequence
Let's find the first few terms of the sequence using the recurrence relation.
a0 = 2 (given)
a1 = a0 + 2^1 = 2 + 2 = 4
a2 = a1 + 2^2 = 4 + 4 = 8
a3 = a2 + 2^3 = 8 + 8 = 16
a4 = a3 + 2^4 = 16 + 16 = 32
2. Observing the pattern
Looking at the first few terms, we can observe that an = 2(1+n). Let's prove this by mathematical induction.
Base case:
a0 = 2 = 2(1+0)
a1 = 4 = 2(1+1)
Induction hypothesis: Assume that an = 2(1+n) for some n.
Induction step:
an+1 = an + 2^(n+1) (given recurrence relation)
= 2(1+n) + 2^(n+1) (using induction hypothesis)
= 2 + 2n + 2^n * 2
= 2 + 2(n+1)
= 2(1+(n+1))
Therefore, the induction step is true and the pattern an = 2(1+n) holds for all n.
3. Conclusion
Hence, the solution to the recurrence relation an= an-1 2n, with initial term a0= 2 is option 'B' i.e., 2(1+n).

an+1 = an + 2^(n+1) (given recurrence relation)
= 2(1+n) + 2^(n+1) (using induction hypothesis)
= 2 + 2n + 2^n * 2
= 2 + 2(n+1)
= 2(1+(n+1))
Therefore, the induction step is true and the pattern an = 2(1+n) holds for all n.
3. Conclusion
Hence, the solution to the recurrence relation an= an-1 2n, with initial term a0= 2 is option 'B' i.e., 2(1+n).

The characteristic equation of the recurrence relation is → x2−20x + 36 = 0
So, (x-2)(x-18) = 0. Hence, there are two real roots x1=2 and x2=18. Therefore the solution to the recurrence relation will have the form: an = a2n+b18n. To find a and b, set n = 0 and n = 1 to get a system of two equations with two unknowns: 4 = a20 + b180 = a + b and 3=a21 + b61 = 2a + 6b. Solving this system gives b = -1/2 and a = 7/2. So the solution to the recurrence relation is,
an = 7/2*2n−1/2*6n.

To find the generating function for the sequence A = 1, 9, 25, 49, ..., we can start by observing that the sequence is the square of the odd numbers. The nth term of the sequence can be expressed as (2n-1)^2.
The generating function for the sequence can be written as:
A(x) = (1x^2) + (9x^4) + (25x^6) + (49x^8) + ...
Now, let's factor out the common term x^2 from each term:
A(x) = x^2(1 + 9x^2 + 25x^4 + 49x^6 + ...)
Next, we can recognize that the series inside the parentheses is a geometric series with a common ratio of (x^2)^2 = x^4 and a first term of 1:
A(x) = x^2(1/(1 - x^4))
Therefore, the generating function for the sequence A = 1, 9, 25, 49, ... is A(x) = x^2/(1 - x^4).
The generating function for the sequence can be written as:

Problem: How many numbers must be selected from the set {1, 2, 3, 4} to guarantee that at least one pair of these numbers add up to 7?
Solution:
To find the minimum number of selections required to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7, we need to consider all possible combinations of numbers from the given set.
Step 1: Consider all possible pairs of numbers from the set {1, 2, 3, 4}.
The possible pairs are:
1 + 6
2 + 5
3 + 4
4 + 3
5 + 2
6 + 1
Step 2: Determine the maximum number of selections needed to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7.
From the given set, the highest possible sum of two numbers is 6 + 1 = 7. Therefore, to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7, we need to select both numbers 6 and 1.
Step 3: Calculate the number of selections required.
Since we need to select both 6 and 1, the minimum number of selections required is 2.
Step 4: Verify the minimum number of selections.
We can verify this by selecting any two numbers from the set. Let's consider the selection of 2 and 3. The sum of these two numbers is 2 + 3 = 5, which is less than 7. Therefore, we need to select at least one more number to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7.
Conclusion: The minimum number of selections required from the set {1, 2, 3, 4} to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7 is 2. Thus, the correct answer is option 'B' (5).

Understanding the Recurrence Relation
The given recurrence relation is:
bn = 8bn-1 - 12bn-2
with initial conditions b0 = 3 and b1 = 4.
We will solve this by finding the characteristic equation.
Characteristic Equation
To find the characteristic equation, we assume a solution of the form bn = r^n. Substituting this into the recurrence gives:
r^n = 8r^(n-1) - 12r^(n-2)
Dividing through by r^(n-2) (for r ≠ 0):
r^2 = 8r - 12
This simplifies to the characteristic equation:
r^2 - 8r + 12 = 0
Finding Roots
We can factor this quadratic equation:
(r - 6)(r - 2) = 0
Thus, the roots are r1 = 6 and r2 = 2.
General Solution
The general solution for the recurrence relation is:
bn = A * 6^n + B * 2^n
where A and B are constants determined by the initial conditions.
Applying Initial Conditions
Using b0 = 3:
3 = A * 6^0 + B * 2^0
3 = A + B (1)
Using b1 = 4:
4 = A * 6^1 + B * 2^1
4 = 6A + 2B (2)
Now, we can solve these equations:
From (1), B = 3 - A. Substituting into (2):
4 = 6A + 2(3 - A)
4 = 6A + 6 - 2A
4 = 4A + 6
4A = -2
A = -1/2
Substituting A back into (1):
B = 3 - (-1/2) = 3 + 1/2 = 7/2.
Final Solution
Thus, the solution is:
bn = (7/2) * 2^n - (1/2) * 6^n.
This corresponds to option 'A'.
The given recurrence relation is:
bn = 8bn-1 - 12bn-2
with initial conditions b0 = 3 and b1 = 4.
We will solve this by finding the characteristic equation.

Thus, the roots are r1 = 6 and r2 = 2.

3 = A + B (1)
Using b1 = 4:
4 = A * 6^1 + B * 2^1
4 = 6A + 2B (2)
Now, we can solve these equations:
From (1), B = 3 - A. Substituting into (2):
4 = 6A + 2(3 - A)
4 = 6A + 6 - 2A
4 = 4A + 6
4A = -2
A = -1/2
Substituting A back into (1):
B = 3 - (-1/2) = 3 + 1/2 = 7/2.
Final Solution
Thus, the solution is:
bn = (7/2) * 2^n - (1/2) * 6^n.
This corresponds to option 'A'.

Recurrence relation is given as:
an = 17an-1 + 30n
a0 = 3
To find a2, we need to substitute n=1 and n=2 in the given relation.
a1 = 17a0 + 30(1) = 17(3) + 30 = 81
a2 = 17a1 + 30(2) = 17(81) + 60 = 1437
Therefore, the value of a2 is 1437.
an = 17an-1 + 30n

Given:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are the digits to form 3 digit number
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are the digits to form 3 digit number
Calculation:
Let us take the 3digit number as H T U (Hundreds, tens, unit digit) respectively
To make 3 digit number as odd
5, 7, 9 are only possibly be used in the unit digit place
In hundreds and tens place all 5 digits are possible
Number of ways for unit digit = 3
Number of ways for tens digit = 5
Number of ways for hundreds digit = 5
Number of 3 digits odd number = 3 × 5 × 5 = 75
∴ 75 Three-digit odd numbers can be formed from the digits 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 if the digits can be repeated
Let us take the 3digit number as H T U (Hundreds, tens, unit digit) respectively

Consider the coefficients of each xn term. So a0 = 4, since the coefficient of x0 is 4 (x0=1 so this is the constant term). Since 15 is the coefficient of x2, so 15 is the term a2 of the sequence. To find a1 check the coefficient of x1 which in this case is 0. So a1 = 0. Continuing with these we have a2 = 15, a3=10, a4 = 25, and a5 = 16. So we have the sequence 4, 0, 15, 10, 25, 16,…

To solve this problem, we can use the concept of distributing identical objects into distinct boxes. We need to find the number of ways to distribute 8 different dolls into 5 identical gift boxes such that no box is empty if any of the boxes hold all of the toys.
Let's consider the number of dolls in each box as follows:
- If one box holds all the dolls, there are 5 ways to choose which box will hold all the dolls. Once we have chosen the box, we can arrange the dolls in that box in 8! ways (since the dolls are different). The remaining 4 boxes can be left empty in 1 way. Therefore, the total number of ways is 5 * 8! = 20,160.
- If two boxes hold all the dolls, there are 5C2 ways to choose which two boxes will hold all the dolls. Once we have chosen the boxes, we can arrange the dolls in those boxes in (8!)/(2!2!) ways. The remaining 3 boxes can be left empty in 1 way. Therefore, the total number of ways is 5C2 * (8!)/(2!2!) = 10 * 8!/(2!2!) = 10 * 8 * 7 * 6 = 2,240.
- If three boxes hold all the dolls, there are 5C3 ways to choose which three boxes will hold all the dolls. Once we have chosen the boxes, we can arrange the dolls in those boxes in (8!)/(3!3!2!) ways. The remaining 2 boxes can be left empty in 1 way. Therefore, the total number of ways is 5C3 * (8!)/(3!3!2!) = 10 * 8!/(3!3!2!) = 10 * 8 * 7 = 560.
- If four boxes hold all the dolls, there are 5C4 ways to choose which four boxes will hold all the dolls. Once we have chosen the boxes, we can arrange the dolls in those boxes in (8!)/(4!4!) ways. The remaining 1 box can be left empty in 1 way. Therefore, the total number of ways is 5C4 * (8!)/(4!4!) = 5 * 8!/(4!4!) = 5 * 70 = 350.
- If all five boxes hold all the dolls, there is only 1 way to distribute the dolls.
Now, we can add up all the ways from each case to get the total number of ways:
Total number of ways = 20,160 + 2,240 + 560 + 350 + 1 = 23,311
Thus, the correct answer is option (a) 23,311.
Let's consider the number of dolls in each box as follows:

Once we have chosen the box, we can arrange the dolls in that box in 8! ways (since the dolls are different). The remaining 4 boxes can be left empty in 1 way. Therefore, the total number of ways is 5 * 8! = 20,160.
- If two boxes hold all the dolls, there are 5C2 ways to choose which two boxes will hold all the dolls. Once we have chosen the boxes, we can arrange the dolls in those boxes in (8!)/(2!2!) ways. The remaining 3 boxes can be left empty in 1 way. Therefore, the total number of ways is 5C2 * (8!)/(2!2!) = 10 * 8!/(2!2!) = 10 * 8 * 7 * 6 = 2,240.
- If three boxes hold all the dolls, there are 5C3 ways to choose which three boxes will hold all the dolls. Once we have chosen the boxes, we can arrange the dolls in those boxes in (8!)/(3!3!2!) ways. The remaining 2 boxes can be left empty in 1 way. Therefore, the total number of ways is 5C3 * (8!)/(3!3!2!) = 10 * 8!/(3!3!2!) = 10 * 8 * 7 = 560.
- If four boxes hold all the dolls, there are 5C4 ways to choose which four boxes will hold all the dolls. Once we have chosen the boxes, we can arrange the dolls in those boxes in (8!)/(4!4!) ways. The remaining 1 box can be left empty in 1 way. Therefore, the total number of ways is 5C4 * (8!)/(4!4!) = 5 * 8!/(4!4!) = 5 * 70 = 350.
- If all five boxes hold all the dolls, there is only 1 way to distribute the dolls.
Now, we can add up all the ways from each case to get the total number of ways:
Total number of ways = 20,160 + 2,240 + 560 + 350 + 1 = 23,311
Thus, the correct answer is option (a) 23,311.

Recurrence Relation:
A recurrence relation relates the nth term of a sequence to its predecessors. These relations are related to recursive algorithms.
Definition:
A recurrence relation for a sequence a0, a1, a2,.... is a formula (equation) that relates each term an to certain of its predecessors a0, a1, a2,...., an-1. The initial conditions for such a recurrence relation specify the values of a0, a1, a2,...., an-1. For example, the recursive formula for the sequence 3, 8, 13, 18, 23 is
a1 = 3, an = an-1 + 1, 2≤n<∞
A recurrence relation for a sequence a0, a1, a2,.... is a formula (equation) that relates each term an to certain of its predecessors a0, a1, a2,...., an-1. The initial conditions for such a recurrence relation specify the values of a0, a1, a2,...., an-1. For example, the recursive formula for the sequence 3, 8, 13, 18, 23 is
a1 = 3, an = an-1 + 1, 2≤n<∞
Calculation:
Given:
The recurrence relation , T(n) = T(n - 1)+ 2
If n = 1 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(1-1)+ 2 = T(0) + 2 =5 + 2 = 7 // Value of T(0) given in Question
If n= 2 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(2-1)+ 2 = T(1) + 2 =7 + 2 = 9 // Value of T(1) is 7
If n= 3 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(3-1)+ 2 = T(2) + 2 =9 + 2 = 11 // Value of T(2) is 9
Therefore, above pattern can be written in the form of
T(n) = 2n+ 5
If n= 1 then T(n) = 2n+ 5 = T(1) = 2(1)+ 5 = T(1) =7
Therefore Option 3 is the correct Answer
Given:
The recurrence relation , T(n) = T(n - 1)+ 2
If n = 1 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(1-1)+ 2 = T(0) + 2 =5 + 2 = 7 // Value of T(0) given in Question
If n= 2 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(2-1)+ 2 = T(1) + 2 =7 + 2 = 9 // Value of T(1) is 7
If n= 3 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(3-1)+ 2 = T(2) + 2 =9 + 2 = 11 // Value of T(2) is 9
Therefore, above pattern can be written in the form of
T(n) = 2n+ 5
If n= 1 then T(n) = 2n+ 5 = T(1) = 2(1)+ 5 = T(1) =7
Therefore Option 3 is the correct Answer

p - Probability of getting negative value
q - Probability of getting positive value
Calculation:
Given:
n = 5 trials
Positive and negative values are equally likely to occur,
p = 1/2 , q = 1/2
At most one negative value so it can be no negative value or 1 negative value
p (At most one negative) = p(r ≤ 1) = p(r = 0) + p (r = 1)
p (At most one negative) = 6 / 32

n = 5 trials
Positive and negative values are equally likely to occur,

Electric Generator:
- A generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical power for use in an external circuit.
- An electromechanical energy conversion device converts electrical energy into mechanical energy or mechanical to electrical energy
- An electromechanical energy conversion device converts electrical energy into mechanical energy or mechanical to electrical energy. The conversion can take place via any medium, electrical, or magnetic medium.
- Generally, the magnetic field is used as the coupling medium between electrical and mechanical mediums because the energy-storing capacity of the magnetic field is much higher than the electric field. It is a reversible process
- A prime mover is a machine that converts energy into work and examples of such machines are the gas turbine, steam turbine, reciprocating internal combustion engine, and hydraulic turbine

Analysis:
T(n) = 2T(n - 1) + n; n ≥ 2
put, n = 2
T(2) = 2T(1) + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4
put, n = 3
T(3) = 2T(2) + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11
put, n = 4
T(4) = 2T(3) + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26
Similarly, T(2) = 4, T(3) = 11, T(4) = 26, ......
T(2) = 22+1 - 2 - 2 = 4
T(3) = 23+1 - 3 - 2 = 11
T(4) = 24+1 - 4 - 2 = 26
In general,
T(n) = 2n+1 - n - 2
T(n) = 2T(n - 1) + n; n ≥ 2
put, n = 2
T(2) = 2T(1) + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4
put, n = 3
T(3) = 2T(2) + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11
put, n = 4
T(4) = 2T(3) + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26
Similarly, T(2) = 4, T(3) = 11, T(4) = 26, ......
T(2) = 22+1 - 2 - 2 = 4
T(3) = 23+1 - 3 - 2 = 11
T(4) = 24+1 - 4 - 2 = 26
In general,
T(n) = 2n+1 - n - 2
