Q 1 :

Among the statements

(S1):20232022-19992022 is divisible by 8

(S2):13(13)n-11n-13 is divisible by 144 for infinitely many n∈ℕ                [2023]

  • only (S2) is correct

     

  • both (S1) and (S2) are incorrect

     

  • both (S1) and (S2) are correct

     

  • only (S1) is correct

     

(3)

As we know that xn-yn is always divisible by x-y

∴  20232022-19992022 is divisible by 2023 - 1999 = 24, which is divisible by 8.      ∴ S1 is true.

Also, 13(13)n-11n-13=13(12+1)n-11n-13

=13[C0n12n+C1n12n-1+C2n12n-2+…+Cnn]-11n-13

=13[C0n12n+C1n12n-1+…+Cn-2n122]+13·12·n+13-11n-13

=13×122[C0n12n-2+C1n12n-3+…+Cn-2n]+145n

Which is divisible by 144, for all n≥144.

i.e., It is divisible by 144 for infinitely many n∈N.

∴   S2 is also true.



Q 2 :

25190-19190-8190+2190 is divisible by                  [2023]

  • both 14 and 34

     

  • 34 but not by 14   

     

  • 14 but not by 34       

     

  • neither 14 nor 34  

     

(2)

Given,  25190-19190-8190+2190

So, (17+8)190-8190+(19-17)190-19190

=C019017190+C119017189×8+…+8190-8190 +C019019190-C119019189×17+…+17190-19190

=17(2K1)-17(2K2), where K1 and K2 are integers.

So, given number is divisible by 34 but not by 14.



Q 3 :

Let the number (22)2022+(2022)22 leave the remainder α when divided by 3 and β when divided by 7. Then (α2+β2) is equal to             [2023]

  • 20 

     

  • 13

     

  • 5

     

  • 10

     

(3)

We are, (22)2022+(2022)22=(21+1)2022+(2022)22

Here (2022)22 is divisible by 3 as 2022 is divisible by 3.  

Expanding (21+1)2022, we get  

(21+1)2022=C02022(21)2022+C12022(21)2021+…+C20222022(1)2022

                      =[(3)2022(7)2022+C12022(3)202172021+…]+1

                      =3[(3)2021(7)2022+C12022(3)2020(7)2021+…]+1

                      =3m+1  ∴Remainder, α=1

Also,  (21+1)22+(2023-1)22

         =7[(3)2022(7)2021+C12022(3)2021(7)2020+…]+1+C022(2023)22-C122(2023)21+…-C2122(2023)+C2222 

          =(7r1+1)+7[(721)(289)22-C122(7)20(289)21+…-C2122(289)]+1

           =(7r1+1)+(7r2+1)=7(r1+r2)+2=7n+2

∴Remainder, β=2

Now, α2+β2=12+22=5



Q 4 :

If 1n+1Cnn+1nCn-1n+....+12C1n+C0n=102310, then n is equal to                  [2023]

  • 8

     

  • 9

     

  • 6

     

  • 7

     

(2)

1n+1Cnn+1nCn-1n+…+C0n

=∑r=0nCrnr+1=1n+1∑r=0nCr+1n+1=1n+1(2n+1-1)=102310=210-110

So, n+1=10⇒n=9



Q 5 :

The sum of the coefficients of the first 50 terms in the binomial expansion of (1-x)100, is equal to              [2023]

  • C50101

     

  • -C4999

     

  • -C50101

     

  • C4999

     

(2)

(1-x)100=C0100-C1100x+C2100x2-C3100x3+…+C100100x100

or  
(1-x)100=C0-C1x+C2x2-C3x3+…+C100x100

If x = 1, then  

      0=C0-C1+C2-C3+…-C99+C100

⇒0=2(C0-C1+C2-…-C49)+C50

⇒C0-C1+C2-…-C49=-C502=-12100!50! 50!=-99!50! 49!

⇒C0-C1+C2-…-C49=-C4999

  • 1415

     

  • 815

     

(1)

We have, {4202215}={(42)101115}={(1+15)101115}

={115+15101015+…}={115+0+…}={115}

  • 25051!

     

(4)

11! 50!+13! 48!+15! 46!+…+149! 2!+151! 1! 

=151![51!1! 50!+51!3! 48!+51!5! 46!+…+51!49! 2!+51!51! 1!] 

=151![C151+C351+…+C5151] 

=151! 251-1=151! 250

∑r=022Cr22 Cr23

=∑r=022Cr22 C23-r23

=C2322+23=C2345



Q 9 :

If (C130)2+2(C230)2+3(C330)2+...+30(C3030)2=α60!(30!)2, then α is equal to           [2023]

  • 60 

     

  • 10 

     

  • 15   

     

  • 30

     

(3)

Given, (C130)2+2(C230)2+3(C330)2+…+30(C3030)2=α60!(30!)2

∑r=130r·(Cr30)2=∑r=130r·Cr30·Cr30

=∑r=130r·30r·Cr-129·Cr30 =∑r=13030·Cr-129C30-r30=30 C3059

⇒ 3059!30! 29!3030=15·60!(30)2  ∴ α=15

 



Q 10 :

Let x=(83+13)13 and y=(72+9)9. If [t] denotes the greatest integer ≤t, then            [2023]

  • [x] is even but [y] is odd 

     

  • [x] + [y] is even

     

  • [x] and [y] are both odd   

     

  • [x] is odd but [y] is even

     

(2)

 x=(83+13)13=C013·(83)13+C113(83)12(13)1+…

And x'=(83-13)13=C013(83)13-C113(83)12(13)1+…

∴   x-x'=2[C113·(83)12(13)1+C313(83)10·(13)3+…]

Thus, x-x' is an even integer, hence [x] is even.

Now, y=(72+9)9=C09(72)9+C19(72)8(9)1+C29(72)7(9)2+…

And y'=(72-9)9=C09(72)9-C19(72)8(9)1+C29(72)7(9)2…

∴   y-y'=2[C19(72)8(9)1+C39(72)6(9)3+…]

Thus, y-y' is an even integer, hence [y] is even.



Q 11 :

The largest natural number n such that 3n divides 66! is _______ .               [2023]



(31)

The largest prime p in n! is 

Ep(n!)=[np]+[np2]+[np3]+⋯

Here, p = 3 is a prime number and n = 66

∴    E3(66!)=[663]+[669]+[6627]+[6681]+⋯

=22+7+2+0+⋯=31      ∴  66!=331⋯

∴The maximum exponent of 3 is 31.



Q 12 :

The remainder, when 7103 is divided by 17, is ________ .             [2023]



(12)

7103=7.7102

7.7102=7(72)51=7(49)51=7(51-2)51

=7(-2)51=-7(2)51=-7(248+3)=-7.8(248)

=-56(24)12=-56(17-1)12=-56×(-1)12=(-56)

Remainder=12



Q 13 :

The remainder, when 19200+23200 is divided by 49, is ________ .            [2023]



(29)

23200+19200=(21+2)200+(21-2)200

=2[C02002120020+C22002119822+⋯+C2002002102200]         ...(i)

Now, 212 will be divisible by 49, so (i) can be written as 2[49λ+2200]

2[49λ+2200]49 then, Remainder=220149=(8)6749=(7+1)6749

=C067767·10+C167766·1+⋯+C66677·166+C67·16749

Remainder=67×7+149         [other terms will be divisible by 49]

=(49+18)×7+149,  Remainder=29



Q 14 :

Suppose ∑r=02023 r2 Cr2023=2023×α×22022. Then the value of α is ___________ .            [2023]



(1012)

∑r=02023r2 Cr2023=2023×α×22022

∑r=0nr2·Crn=n(n+1)·2n-2

Then, ∑r=02023r2·Cr2023=(2023)(2023+1)·22023-2

         =2023×2024×22021=2023×α×22022

∴  2α=2024  ⇒  α=1012



Q 15 :

Let the sum of the coefficients of the first three terms in the expansion of (x-3x2)n, x≠0,n∈N, be 376.  Then the coefficient of x4 is ___________ .      [2023]



(405)

Sum of coefficients of first three terms of (x-3x2)n is 376.

C0n-C1n·3+C2n·32=376 ⇒1-3n+n(n-1)2×9=376

⇒3n2-5n-250=0   ∴ n=10

Now, Tr+1=Cr10 x10-r(-3x2)r=Cr10(-3)r·x10-3r

For coefficient of x4⇒10-3r=4⇒r=2

Coefficient of x4=C210(-3)2=405



Q 16 :

The remainder when (2023)2023 is divided by 35 is __________ .         [2023]



(7)

(2023)2023=(2030-7)2023=(35K-7)2023

=C02023(35K)2023(-7)0+C12023(35K)2022(-7)1+⋯+C20232023(-7)2023

=35N-72023

Now, -72023=-7×72022=-7(72)1011=-7(50-1)1011

=-7[C0(50)10111011-C11011(50)1010+⋯+C10111011]

=-7(5λ-1)=35λ+7

∴When (2023)2023 is divided by 35, remainder is 7.



Q 17 :

50th root of a number x is 12 and 50th root of another number y is 18. Then the remainder obtained on dividing (x + y) by 25 is _________ .          [2023]



(23)

Given,  x1/50=12⇒x=(12)50

y1/50=18⇒y=(18)50

∴  x+y25=remainder⇒x+y25=1250+185025

125025+(18)5025=(144)25+(324)2525=(150-6)25+(325-1)2525

=25k-(625+1)25=25k-[(5+1)25+1]25=25k1-225

∴   Remainder=23



Q 18 :

The remainder on dividing 599 by 11 is _________ .                [2023]



(9)

We have, 599=54×595=625×(55)19

=625×(3125)19=625×(3124+1)19

=625×(11λ+1)19  [∵11×284=3124]

∴    Remainder=9



Q 19 :

If the coefficients of x4,x5 and x6 in the expansion of (1+x)n are in the arithmetic progression, then the maximum value of n is:               [2024]

  • 14

     

  • 21

     

  • 7

     

  • 28

     

(1)

As (1+x)n=C0n+C1nx1+C2nx2+⋯+Cnnxn

∴     C5n-C4n=C6n-C5n  [Since,C4n,C5nandC6n are in A.P.]

⇒n!5!(n-5)!-n!4!(n-4)!=n!6!(n-6)!-n!5!(n-5)!

⇒n-95!(n-5)!(n-4)=n-116!(n-6)!(n-5)

⇒6(n-9)=(n-11)(n-4)

⇒n2-21n+98=0⇒n=21±441-3922=14,7

∴     nmax=14

 

 



Q 20 :

The coefficient of x70 in x2(1+x)98+x3(1+x)97+x4(1+x)96+…+x54(1+x)46 is Cp-Cq.4699 Then a possible value of p+q is:               [2024]

  • 68

     

  • 83

     

  • 55

     

  • 61

     

(2)

We have, x2(1+x)98+x3(1+x)97+…+x54(1+x)46

It is a G.P. with first term =x2(1+x)98

and common ratio =x1+x

∴     Sum of these terms =x2(1+x)98((x1+x)53-1x1+x-1)

=x2(1+x)98((1+x)-x53(1+x)-52)

=x2(1+x)99⏝coeff.of x68-x55(1+x)46⏝coeff. of x15                      [∵ we need coefficient of x70]

=C6899-C1546=Cp99-Cq46              (∵ Given)

Hence, p+q=83

 



Q 21 :

Let α=∑r=0n(4r2+2r+1)Crn and β=(∑r=0nCrnr+1)+1n+1. If 140<2αβ<281, then the value of n is ________.            [2024]



(5)

α=∑r=0n(4r2+2r+1)Crn

=4∑r=1nr2nrCr-1n-1+2∑r=1nrnrCr-1n-1+∑r=0nCrn

=4n∑r=1nr·Cr-1n-1+2n∑r=1nCr-1n-1+∑r=0nCrn

=4n(n+1)2n-2+2n2n-1+2n=2n[n(n+1)+n+1]

=2n[n2+2n+1]=2n(n+1)2

Now, β=∑r=0nCrnr+1+1n+1=∑r=0nCr+1n+1n+1+1n+1

=1n+1·2n+1⇒2αβ=2·2n(n+1)2×(n+1)2n+1=(n+1)3

Given that, 140<2αβ<281⇒140<(n+1)3<281

Now, for n=4;(n+1)3=53=125

         for n=5;(n+1)3=63=216

         for n=6;(n+1)3=73=343

Hence, the value of n=5



Q 22 :

The remainder when 4282024 is divided by 21 is ______ .             [2024]



(1)

4282024=(420+8)2024

=C02024(420)2024+C12024(420)2023(8)1+…+C20232024(420)(8)2023+C20242024(8)2024

=420 [Some integer] +641012

=21×20 [Some integer] +(63+1)1012

=21×20 [Some integer] +63×Some integer + 1

=21×20 [Some integer]  +21×3×Some integer + 1 

Hence, remainder = 1

(678)

We have, (1+1x)6(1+x2)7(1-x3)8,x≠0

=(1+6x+15x2+20x3+15x4+6x5+1x6)(1+x2)7(1-x3)8

=(1+6x+15x2+20x3+15x4+6x5+1x6)×(1+7x2+21x4+35x6+35x8+21x10+7x12+x14)

1-8x3+28x6-56x9+70x12-56x15+28x18-8x21+x24

Coefficient of x30 in the expansion of (1+1x)6(1+x2)7(1-x3)8

=28×7+28×15-8×21×6-8×20×7-8×6+15×35+35+15×21+7

=196+420-1008-1120-48+525+35+315+7

=-678

∴    |α|=678

C1112+C2113+…+C91110

=(C011+C1112+C2113+…+C91110+C101111+C111112)-1-1-112

=211+1-112-2-112=212-2612=407012=20356

∴        n+m=2035+6=2041



Q 25 :

Remainder when 643232 is divided by 9 is equal to _____ .         [2024]



(1)

We have, ((64)32)32=((82)32)32=82048

=(9-1)2048

=92048-C1204892047+⋯+C2048=9k+12048

So, remainder = 1



Q 26 :

Let α=∑k=0n((Ckn)2k+1) and β=∑k=0n-1(Ck Ck+1nnk+2). If 5α=6β, then n equals ________ .                    [2024]



(10)

We have, α=∑k=0n((Ckn)2k+1) and β=∑k=0n-1(Ck Ck+1nnk+2)

Now, α=∑k=0nCknk+1·Ckn

=∑k=0nCk+1n+1n+1·Cn-kn=1n+1∑k=0nCk+1·Cn-knn+1

=1n+1·Cn+12n+1

Now, β=∑k=0n-1Cn-k·nn+1(k+2)(n+1)·Ck+1n

=1n+1∑k=0n-1Cn-k·Ck+2n+1n=1n+1·Cn+22n+1

∴      βα=Cn+22n+1Cn+12n+1=(2n+1-n-1)!·(n+1)!(2n+1-n-2)!·(n+2)!

=n!·(n+1)!(n-1)!(n+2)(n+1)!=nn+2=56

=C011+∑k=111Ck11(110)k=1+∑k=111Ck11(110)k

⇒ ∑k=111Ck11(110)k=(1110)11–1

Substituting in (ii), we get

∑r=010Cr+111(110)r=10((1110)11–1)           ... (iii)

On combining (i) and (iii), we get

      ∑r=010(10r+1-110r)Cr+111=10(211–1)–10((1110)11–1)

  =10×211–10–11111010+10

   =10×211–11111010

   =(20)11–11111010 ⇒ α=20.



Q 28 :

If ∑r=19(r+32r)·Cr9=α(32)9–β, α,β∈ℕ, then (α+β)2 is equal to          [2025]

  • 27

     

  • 18

     

  • 81

     

  • 9

     

(3)

We have, ∑r=19(r+32r)·Cr9=α(32)9–β, α,β∈ℕ

Now, ∑r=19(r+32r)·Cr9

=∑r=19(r2r)·Cr9+∑r=19(32r)·Cr9

=∑r=19(92r)·Cr–18+3∑r=19Cr9(12)r

=92∑r=19Cr–18(12)r–1+3(∑r=09(Cr9(12)r)–1)

=92(1+12)8+3((1+12)9–1)

=92·(32)8+3(32)9–3

=6·(32)9–3

On comparing, we get

⇒ α=6 and β=3

∴  (α+β)2=81.



Q 29 :

The sum of all rational terms in the expansion of (2+3)8 is equal to          [2025]

  • 3763

     

  • 18817

     

  • 16923

     

  • 33845

     

(2)

We have,

(2+3)8=C0828+C1827(3)+...+C88(3)8

But, for rational terms, we take only those terms whose exponent is an even number.

Required sum = C08(2)8+C28(2)6·(3)2+C48(2)4(3)4+C68(2)2(3)6+C88(3)8

                        = 28+28×26×3+70×24×9+28×22×27+81

                        = 256 + 5376 + 10080 + 3024 + 81 = 18817.



Q 30 :

If 12·(C115)+22·(C215)+32·(C315)+...+152·(C1515)=2m·3n·5k, where m, n, k ∈ N, then m + n + k is equal to :          [2025]

  • 21

     

  • 18

     

  • 20

     

  • 19

     

(4)

Using formula, ∑r=1nr2 Crn=n(n+1)2n–2

For n = 15

∑r=115r2 Cr15=15×16×213

= 3×5×24×213

= 217×31×51

On comparing terms, we get m = 17, n = 1 and k = 1

Thus, m + n + k = 19.
