Let w and r be respectively the time taken by the man to walk and ride the certain distance one way. So, r =.5 hours r = 1.5 hours. Also, w + r = hours =.75 hours. w =.75 1.5 =.5 hours Time required to walk both ways = w = 5 hours.. Let the number of pens purchased be x and the number of notebooks purchased be y. So, 11x 1y 00 By hit and trial we find that y = 5 is the least natural number that satisfy the above equation. 00 65 So, y 5, gives x 85 11 Hence, y 5 11k and x 85 1k where k is a non-negative integer.

Must be a multiple of 1 ( 7) So, x is a multiple of both & 7 Let x = 1 k y 008 008 Then 1 (1k) 008! 1 So, y must be greater than 008 y 008 But 1 (1k) 008! And 008! has much fewer times multiple of and 7. So, y cannot be greater than 008. Which leads to the contradiction that y is greater than 008. So, there is no positive integral solution. 1. Let q p t, where t 0 p p t r p (1 t ) r But if t 0, then we have an odd factor of r which is greater than 1, which is not possible. So, the only possibility is t = 0 i.e., p q r p p p i.e., r p 1 Hence, the solutions are p q k, r k 1, where k is any non-negative integer. 15. 1897 7 71 So, we need to prove that A is divisible by both 7 and 71. n n n n Now, A (90 80 ) (6 61 ) = (Multiple of 90 80) - (Multiple of 6 61) = Multiple of 0 Multiple of 0 = Multiple of 7 Multiple of 7 = Multiple of 7 n n n n Again, A (90 6 ) (80 61 ) = (Multiple of 9 Multiple of 5 = Multiple of 71 Multiple of 71. = Multiple of 71. Hence proved. 16. As n is even, so each of (n + 1), (n + ), (n + 5), (n + 7), (n + 9) are odd. So, their product will contain at least one multiple of and exactly 1 multiple of 5. So, the largest integer that is a divisor of p(n) is 5 = 15. 17. 01 6 9 So, N 6999...999 times N 7 00 0...00 0 1 zeroes FIITJEE Ltd., Plot No. 7, Sector 1B, Opposite Bal Bhawan International School, Dwarka, New Delhi 1 075, Ph. : 011-80596/6/65 website : www.fiitjee.com

Let Akbar and Birbal respectively have k and n-k number of marbles So, (k p) (n k p) (where p is the number of marbles Akbar gives to Birbal) n (k p)...(1) Let Birbal give q marbles to Akbar. So, (n k q) (k q) n (k q)..() From (1) & (), we have n to be a multiple of both and. So, the least possible value of n is 1. 19. Let 1... (n 1) 01 1... n We observe that 6 6 1... 6 016 So, 5... 6 6 01 i.e., maximum value of k is 61. Alternative Method 01 = 671 11 61 61 Also, 1 65 61 611 So, keeping as the middle term and taking terms prior to and after, we have...,1,,,,5,... 0terms 0terms Since 0 1, So this is the maximum possible i.e., the maximum value of k is 61. 0. 0 1600, 1 1681, 176, 189, 196, 5 05 So, 01 5 k =.

Pre_RMO_1 Which is not possible. Case-II : If x = then y = + y + (x, y) y = + (, y) So, y = and y = and the only possibilities Hence the ordered pairs can be (, ) and (, ) i.e., possible pairs.. 8n 9999 n p(say) 8n p 9999 np p n 9999 p 8 But n 01 p 9999 p 8 p p 8 9 7p 16 p 1 or p 1 gives n = 1111, which is permissible. p = gives n = 1999.8, which is not permissible. So, there is only one natural number n that satisfies the given conditions.. Let the digits from right to left be (a + ), (a + ), (a + 1) and a. So, a 9 a 6 i.e., a = 0, 1,,,, 5, 6 Now, the given number N = (a + ) 00 + (a + ) 0 + (a + 1) + a (a 1)(00 0 ) 00 0 a 0 7(a 1) 7 56 8 a So, possible remainders are 8 + 0, 8 + 1, 8 +,..., 8 + 6 So required sum = 8 + 9 + 0 + 1+ + + = 17 5. Since x & y are single digit prime numbers. So, they can be,, 5 or 7. But x + y is also prime. So, y cannot be or 5 y = or 7 Case-I : If y =, then x can be or 7 But the maximum product will occur when x = 7. In this case n 7 7 15 Case-II : If y = 7, then x can be So, in this case, n = 7 7 < 7 7. So, the maximum value of n is 15. So, sum of the digits of n = 1 + 5 + + = 1 6. The only possibility for which a b becomes a positive integer is a = b b a a b 11 a b 1 a b 1 1 7. Let N ab a b And n ba b a N n 11(a b) But N + n is a perfect square.

Pre_RMO_15 But 0 < a + b 9 + 9 = 18 So, a + b = 11 is the only possibility. So, a can take any value from to 9 i.e., 8 possibilities. The 8 possible ordered pairs are (, 9), (, 8), (, 7), (5, 6), (6, 5), (7, ), (8, ), (9, ). 8. Let n ab a b n S(n) P(n) gives, a b a b ab 9a ab b 9,a any non-zero digit.

The perfect square ends in 1, So its square root will end in 9 or 1. Again, 10 19600 and 180 00 So, if k a9b1, then 10 k 180 So, we have possible values for k As 11, 19, 151, 159, 161, 169, 171 and 179 11 (10 1) 19600 80 1 19881, not possible 19 (150 1) 500 00 1 01, not possible 151 (150 1) 500 00 1 801, not possible 159 (160 1) 5600 0 1 581, not possible 161 (160 1) 5600 0 1 591, a possibility 169 (170 1) 8900 0 1 8561, not possible 171 (170 1) 8900 0 1 91, not possible So, the only possibility is a9b1 = 591 i.e., a 5,b a b 5 5 16 1 b 1 a 1 1 1. Last four digits of a is a a a Multiple of 000 a(a 1) Multiple of 5 and So, two cases arise :- Case-I : If a is a multiple of 5, then (a - 1) should be a multiple of. So, the last two digits of a can be 5. Then, let a 0k 5, where k is a two-digit number.

So, this case is not possible Case-II : If a 1 is a multiple of 5 and a is a multiple of. So, the last two digits of a can be 76. Let a = 0p + 76, where p is a -digit number. (0p 76) (0p 76) Multiple of 000 000p 1500p 5776 0p 76 = Multiple of 000 150p + 5700 = multiple of 000 151 p + 57 = Multiple of 0 0p + 50p + p + 57 = Multiple of 0 So, p is odd So, the last two digits of 50 p + p + 57 = 00 i.e., last two digits of p 50 9 Hence, a 976 And so, 080 a = 70. Let x be the 6 th digit. N = 111...1 x 111...1 5 times 1 times 1 But we know that 01 is a multiple of 1. So, 111111 is also a multiple of 1. So, 111...1 is also a multiple of 1. 6k times one Now, N 111...11x 111...1 So, N 1x 000...0 times one times one times zero is a multiple of 1. So, 1x is a multiple of 1. Hence, x = is the only possibility i.e., the 6 th digit of N is.. Let N aabb be the required perfect square. Now, N =10a + 11 b = 11(0a + b) p = 11 (0a + b), where N = p So, 0a + b = multiple of 11 99a + (a + b) = multiple of 11 a + b = multiple of 11 But 0 < a + b 9 + 9 = 18 So, a + b = 11 is the only possibility. Again, p 11(0a b) = 11(99a + (a + b) = 11(99a + 11) = 11 (9a + 1) So, 9a + 1 = k for some natural number k (k - 1) (k + 1) = 9a a = 7 is the only possibility. b = 11 a = Hence, the four-digit number is 77 = 88.. Obviously a 5 = 5. Also, a, a and a 6 are multiples of, and 6 respectively. So, the even digits occupy the even places. And hence the odd digits the odd places. So, 1 and occupy the 1 st and rd place respectively or vice-versa.

Let N = A B, where A 6 8... 1996 1998 000 and B 1 5 7... 1995 1997 1999 Now, 001 667 9 B 1 5...... 9... 1999 is a multiple of 9 001. Again A 6... 6... 58... 000 is a multiple of 6 6 58 = multiple of 9 = multiple of 9 = multiple of 001 Since, A and B are both multiples of 001, So, N = A B is also a multiple of 001. 6. If HCF (n, ) = 1, then HCF ( n, ) = 1 i.e., in this case n(-n) and have no common factor and hence n( n) cannot be divisibly by. If HCF (n, ) = a, then a is a factor of ( 5 7 11) and let b a Then n( n) a(ab a) a (b 1) is a multiple of a but not b So, n( n) cannot be a multiple of b (which is a factor of ) Hence n( n) is not divisible by if n <. 7.

Case-I: If n =, we have, 5.07... 1989 Now, 000 5 and 6 So, n Case-II: If n = 5, we have, 5 50.765... 1989 5 Now, 000 50 and 5 51 So, n 5 Case-III: If n = 6, we have, 6 50.765... 1989 1666.67 1960.78 6 Now, 199.0... 50 and 6 1988.07... 50 So, n 6 Case-IV: If n = 7, we have 7 507.65... 1989 7 7 Now, 1989.58 507 & 1989.65 and x 506 506 So, x 507 and x 506 satisfies the condition with the minimum value of n as 7. 19 15. Sol. Let r k 0 91 19 7 Obviously, r r k 1 0 0 0 There are total 7 terms and 56 7 7 5 So, k 7. Also, there are 5 terms equal to k + 1 (= 8). And 8 terms equal to k (=7) 19 7 19 8 So, r 7 0 0 and r 0 0 = 8 56 57 i.e., 7 r 8 and 8 r 9 0 0 7 7 r and r 0 0 0 r lies between 7 and 7 [0r] 7 Pre_RMO_ FIITJEE Ltd., Plot No. 7, Sector 1B, Opposite Bal Bhawan International School, Dwarka, New Delhi 1 075, Ph. : 011-80596/6/65 website : www.fiitjee.com
