NDA II - Mathematics Question Paper 2017 - Question 20

A person is to count 4500 notes. Let an denote the number of notes he counts in the nth minute.
If a1 = a2 = a3 = . . = a10 = 150 , and
a10 , a11 , a12 . .. are in AP with the common difference −2 , then the time taken by him to count all the notes is

Detailed Solution: Question 20

Let us assume that total minutes = x
For first nine minutes = 150 × 9
Let the remaining minutes = y = x − 9 Now,
(150 × 9)  [2 × 150 + (y − 1)(−2)] = 4500
 (302 − 2y) = 3150 ⟹ y2 − 151y + 3150 = 0
⟹ (y − 126)(y − 25) = 0 ⟹ y = 25 or 126
(Rejected)
So, x = y + 9 = 25 + 9 = 34 minutes

If we define a relation R on the set N × N as (a, b) R (c, d) ⟺ a + d = b + c for all (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N × N, then the

Detailed Solution: Question 22

(a, b) R (c, d) ⟺ a + b = b + c a+a = a+a
⟹ (a, a) R (a, a) ⟹ R is reflexive.
Next, Let (a, b) R (c, d) ⟹ a + b = b + c ⟹
c + b = d + a ⟹ (c, d) R(a, b)
⟹ R is symmetric.
Next, (a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f)
⟹ a+b = b+cand c+f = d+e
⟹ a+d+c+f = b+c+d+e
⟹ a + f = b + e ⟹ (a, b)R (e, f)
⟹ R is transitive ⟹ R is an equivalence relation.
