By applying modular arithmetic rules, Fermat's Little Theorem reduces the large exponents. The first term evaluates to

-1 \pmod{19}

and the second term evaluates to

12 \pmod{19}

. Their difference is

-13 \pmod{19}

, which corresponds to a positive remainder of

6

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Simplify the first term

37^{45}

modulo 19.

37^{45} \equiv -1 \pmod{19}

Since

37 = 19 \times 2 - 1

, it follows that

37 \equiv -1 \pmod{19}

. An odd power of

-1

is

-1

.

2

Simplify the base of the second term,

40^{23}

, modulo 19.

40^{23} \equiv 2^{23} \pmod{19}

Because

40 = 19 \times 2 + 2

, we can replace the base

40

with its remainder

2

.

3

Use Fermat's Little Theorem to reduce the exponent in

2^{23} \pmod{19}

.

2^{23} \equiv 13 \pmod{19}

Fermat's Little Theorem states

a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod{p}

for a prime

p

. Here,

2^{18} \equiv 1 \pmod{19}

. Therefore,

2^{23} = 2^{18} \times 2^5 \equiv 1 \times 32 \equiv 13 \pmod{19}

.

4

Multiply by 17 and find the remainder of the second term.

17 \times 40^{23} \equiv 12 \pmod{19}

We can write

17 \equiv -2 \pmod{19}

. Then,

(-2) \times 13 = -26

. Adding a multiple of 19 (which is 38) gives

-26 + 38 = 12

.

5

Subtract the second term from the first and convert to a positive remainder.

The final remainder is

6

.

-1 - 12 = -13

. To get the positive remainder, add the modulus 19:

-13 + 19 = 6

.

Cevap: $\frac{5}{8}$ meters

Cevap

\frac{5}{8}

meters

The maximum possible length of each piece is found by calculating the HCF of the two fractional lengths. The correct formula is to divide the HCF of the numerators (15 and 25) by the LCM of the denominators (4 and 8). The HCF of 15 and 25 is 5, and the LCM of 4 and 8 is 8, resulting in exactly

\frac{5}{8}

meters.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the mathematical operation required for the scenario.

Finding the maximum possible identical length from two given lengths requires calculating their Highest Common Factor (HCF).

The pieces must be of equal length and as large as possible without leaving any remainder.

2

State the formula for finding the HCF of fractions.

\text{HCF of fractions} = \frac{\text{HCF of numerators}}{\text{LCM of denominators}}

This is the standard rule for determining the greatest common divisor of rational numbers.

3

Calculate the HCF of the numerators (15 and 25).

The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, 15. The factors of 25 are 1, 5, 25. The highest common factor is 5.

The numerator of our final answer must be the HCF of the original numerators.

4

Calculate the LCM of the denominators (4 and 8).

The multiples of 8 (8, 16, 24...) are already divisible by 4. Thus, the least common multiple is 8.

The denominator of our final answer must be the LCM of the original denominators.

5

Construct the final fraction.

Cevap: The Clerk and the Governor sit exactly opposite each other.; Exactly three people sit between the Judge and the Mayor.

Cevap

The statements indicating that the Clerk and Governor sit opposite each other, and that exactly three people sit between the Judge and the Mayor, are correct.

Based on the systematic deduction of all constraints, the table is arranged as follows (clockwise from top-left): Sheriff, Clerk, Senator, Judge, Auditor, Governor, Treasurer, and Mayor. In this specific configuration, the Clerk and Governor occupy directly opposite middle seats, and the Judge and Mayor occupy opposite middle seats, meaning there are exactly three people between them on either side.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Establish the directional rules for the inward and outward facing seats.

For the 4 corners facing inward, 'right' moves counter-clockwise and 'left' moves clockwise. For the 4 middle positions facing outward, 'right' moves clockwise and 'left' moves counter-clockwise.

Correctly identifying left and right based on facing direction is mandatory before placing any individuals.

2

Place the Sheriff, Governor, and Mayor to create a foundational layout.

Place the Sheriff at a corner (e.g., top-left, inward). Third to the right (counter-clockwise) places the Governor at the bottom-middle position (outward). Second to the right of the Governor (clockwise) places the Mayor at the left-middle position (outward).

These three linked conditions provide fixed anchor points on the table.

3

Determine the available positions for the Senator and the Judge.

They must sit in adjacent seats but cannot sit next to the Governor or the Sheriff. Eliminating the seats adjacent to the Governor and Sheriff leaves only the top-right corner and the right-middle position as the single valid pair of adjacent seats.

Negative constraints drastically reduce the possible locations for grouped individuals.

4

Differentiate the specific seats for the Senator and the Judge using the Treasurer's condition.

The Treasurer is third to the right of the Judge. If the Judge were at the top-right corner (inward), third to the right would be the left-middle seat, which is already occupied by the Mayor. Thus, the Judge must be at the right-middle seat (outward). Third to the right (clockwise) places the Treasurer at the bottom-left corner. The Senator takes the top-right corner.

Testing the directional constraint ensures no two people are assigned to the same seat.

5

Place the remaining officials, the Clerk and the Auditor.

The remaining empty seats are the top-middle and bottom-right corner. The Clerk cannot be a neighbor of the Governor, so the Clerk takes the top-middle seat. The Auditor fills the final seat at the bottom-right corner.

Applying the final negative constraint finalizes the complete seating arrangement.

Consider the set of the first 100 positive integers (from 1 to 100 inclusive).

An integer $N$ from this set satisfies all of the following three conditions simultaneously:
1. $N$ is a composite number.
2. $N$ is neither divisible by 2 nor divisible by 3.
3. The square root of $N$ is an irrational number.

What is the total number of possible values for $N$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 7

Cevap

There are exactly 7 values for N that satisfy all three conditions.

The complete set of numbers not divisible by 2 or 3 from 1 to 100 contains 33 integers. Excluding the number 1 (neither prime nor composite) and the 23 prime numbers leaves exactly 9 composite numbers. From these 9 composites, 25 and 49 must be excluded because their square roots are 5 and 7 (rational numbers). This leaves 7 valid integers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the total number of integers from 1 to 100 that are neither divisible by 2 nor divisible by 3.

There are 33 such numbers.

Using the inclusion-exclusion principle: there are 50 multiples of 2, 33 multiples of 3, and 16 multiples of 6. Multiples of 2 or 3 = 50 + 33 - 16 = 67. The remaining numbers are 100 - 67 = 33.

2

Filter the 33 remaining integers to find those that are composite.

There are 9 composite numbers: 25, 35, 49, 55, 65, 77, 85, 91, and 95.

Of the 33 numbers, 1 is neither prime nor composite. There are 25 primes up to 100, and excluding 2 and 3 leaves 23 primes. Thus, the composites are 33 - 1 - 23 = 9. These are the products of primes 5 and greater.

3

Eliminate numbers from the composite list whose square roots are rational.

Remove 25 and 49.

Condition 3 requires the square root of N to be irrational. An integer has a rational square root if and only if it is a perfect square. In our list, 25 and 49 are perfect squares.

4

Count the final remaining valid numbers.

7 numbers remain.

Subtracting the 2 perfect squares from the 9 composite numbers leaves 7 numbers that satisfy all three conditions.

A logistics manager is packing identical relief kits into crates. When she attempts to pack them in equal batches of $16$ , $24$ , $30$ , or $36$ kits per crate, there are always exactly $8$ kits left over. However, if she packs them in batches of exactly $19$ kits per crate, there are zero kits left over. What is the least possible total number of relief kits she could be packing?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2888

Cevap

The least possible total number of relief kits is 2888.

The correct answer is derived by finding the general form of a number that leaves a remainder of 8 when divided by 16, 24, 30, and 36. This form is

720k + 8

. By applying the final condition that the total number must be exactly divisible by 19, we find the smallest valid multiplier is

k=4

. Substituting this back gives

720(4) + 8 = 2888

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Establish the relationship for the total number of kits based on the remainders.

The number of kits,

N

, leaves a remainder of

8

when divided by

16

,

24

,

30

, and

36

. Thus,

N = \text{LCM}(16, 24, 30, 36) \times k + 8

.

Any number that leaves the same remainder when divided by multiple divisors can be expressed as a multiple of their least common multiple plus that remainder.

2

Calculate the least common multiple (LCM) of

16

,

24

,

30

, and

36

.

The prime factorizations are

16 = 2^4

,

24 = 2^3 \times 3

,

30 = 2 \times 3 \times 5

, and

36 = 2^2 \times 3^2

. The LCM is the product of the highest powers:

2^4 \times 3^2 \times 5 = 720

.

The LCM is required to find the base repeating cycle for the division condition.

3

Formulate the exact divisibility condition.

Substitute the LCM into the equation to get

N = 720k + 8

. The problem states

N

is exactly divisible by

19

, so

(720k + 8) \equiv 0 \pmod{19}

.

This applies the second constraint of the problem to find the specific multiplier

k

.

4

Simplify the modular arithmetic equation to solve for

k

.

Divide

720

by

19

to find the remainder:

720 = 19 \times 37 + 17

. Substitute

17

for

720

to get

(17k + 8) \equiv 0 \pmod{19}

. This can be written as

(-2k + 8) \equiv 0 \pmod{19}

.

Simplifying large numbers using modulo properties makes finding the integer

k

manageable.

5

Find the smallest positive integer

k

that satisfies the equation.

Solving

-2k + 8 = 0

yields

2k = 8

, which means

k = 4

. Checking:

17(4) + 8 = 68 + 8 = 76

, and

76 \div 19 = 4

, which is exactly divisible.

Finding the smallest valid

k

ensures we calculate the least possible total number of kits.

6

Calculate the final total number of kits.

N = 720(4) + 8 = 2880 + 8 = 2888

.

Substituting

k = 4

back into the original formula for

N

provides the final numerical answer.

The statement regarding the product of

\sqrt{8}

and

\sqrt{18}

being a composite integer, and the statement that the sum of any two distinct odd prime numbers is an even composite integer, are both mathematically correct.

The statement about the irrational product is correct because

, and 12 is a composite integer. The statement regarding prime numbers is correct because adding any two odd numbers always yields an even number. Since the smallest distinct odd primes are 3 and 5 (summing to 8), their sum will always be an even integer strictly greater than 2, which guarantees it is composite.

In a family of seven members—A, B, C, D, E, F, and G—the following relationships are known:

- D is the maternal grandfather of E and has exactly three children, all of whom are daughters.
- C is the father of E and has no siblings.
- B is the wife of C.
- F is the mother of G and the sister-in-law of C.

Based on the provided information, which of the following statements must be true?

A is the maternal aunt of E.

E is the grandson of D.

G is the nephew of B.

F is the paternal aunt of E.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: A is the maternal aunt of E.

Cevap

The statement that must be true is that A is the maternal aunt of E.

By mapping the family tree, we find that D has three daughters: B (who is E's mother), F (who is G's mother), and A (the remaining family member). Because A is the sister of B, she is the maternal aunt of E.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze D's relationship to the rest of the family.

D is the maternal grandfather of E. This means E's mother is the daughter of D. We also know D has exactly three children, all daughters.

To establish the top generation and the gender constraints of the second generation.

2

Determine the relationships between B, C, and F.

B is the wife of C, and C is the father of E. Thus, B is E's mother and one of D's three daughters. F is C's sister-in-law. Because C has no siblings, F must be the sister of C's wife (B). Therefore, F is the second daughter of D.

To accurately map the second generation and resolve the 'sister-in-law' connection.

3

Identify the remaining family members.

The family has 7 members. We have identified D (grandfather), B (daughter 1), F (daughter 2), C (B's husband), E (B's child), and G (F's child). The only unassigned member is A. Since D has three daughters, A must be the third daughter.

To complete the family tree using the member count constraint.

4

Evaluate the genders of E and G to verify the statements.

The text states C is the 'father of E' and F is the 'mother of G', but does not provide any pronouns or terms to establish the genders of E and G. Options claiming 'grandson' or 'nephew' cannot be proven true.

In a state e-governance initiative, a total of $2,400$ Common Service Centers (CSCs) are distributed across three districts: District P, District Q, and District R. District P contains $30\%$ of the total CSCs. The ratio of the total number of CSCs in District Q to those in District R is $4:3$ . Each CSC is operated by either a male or a female entrepreneur. In District P, $25\%$ of the CSCs are operated by female entrepreneurs. The number of female-operated CSCs in District Q is $50\%$ more than the number of female-operated CSCs in District P.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $23:5$

Cevap

The correct ratio is

23:5

.

Based on the text, District Q has a total of 960 CSCs and District P has 180 female-operated CSCs. Since District Q has 50% more female-operated CSCs than P, it has 270 female-operated CSCs. This leaves 690 male-operated CSCs in Q. Since the total female-operated CSCs across all districts is 600, District R has 600 - (180 + 270) = 150 female-operated CSCs. The ratio of male-operated CSCs in Q to female-operated CSCs in R is 690:150, which simplifies to 23:5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total number of CSCs in each district.

District P = 720. District Q = 960. District R = 720.

District P has 30% of 2,400 = 720. The remaining 1,680 CSCs are divided between Q and R in a 4:3 ratio. District Q = (4/7) * 1,680 = 960. District R = (3/7) * 1,680 = 720.

2

Calculate the number of female-operated CSCs in Districts P and Q.

Female in P = 180. Female in Q = 270.

Female CSCs in P = 25% of 720 = 180. Female CSCs in Q is 50% more than in P, meaning 180 + (0.50 * 180) = 180 + 90 = 270.

3

Calculate the number of female-operated CSCs in District R.

Female in R = 150.

Total female CSCs = 600. Female in R = Total - (Female P + Female Q) = 600 - (180 + 270) = 600 - 450 = 150.

4

Calculate the number of male-operated CSCs in District Q.

Male in Q = 690.

Total CSCs in Q (960) - Female in Q (270) = 690.

5

Find the requested ratio.

23:5

Ratio of Male in Q to Female in R = 690 : 150. Dividing both sides by 30 gives 23 : 5.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Piper sits exactly opposite to Oliver.; Riley sits third to the right of Quinn.

Cevap

The statements 'Piper sits exactly opposite to Oliver' and 'Riley sits third to the right of Quinn' are true.

Based on the deduced seating arrangement, Piper sits at a middle position opposite to the corner where Oliver sits. Additionally, since Quinn faces the center, counting three positions to the right (counter-clockwise) leads exactly to Riley's position.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Establish the seating positions and their left/right orientations based on facing directions.

Label positions 1 to 6 clockwise. Corners are 1, 3, and 5 (facing center). Middle positions are 2, 4, and 6 (facing outward). For center-facing (1, 3, 5), left is clockwise and right is counter-clockwise. For outward-facing (2, 4, 6), right is clockwise and left is counter-clockwise.

Tracking relative directions is critical because inward and outward facing seats have reversed left/right orientations.

2

Place Maya and deduce Quinn's position.

Place Maya at corner position 1. Since Maya faces the center, her left is clockwise. Quinn sits second to the left, which is position 3 (also a corner).

Condition 1 and 2 give an absolute starting point and a direct relative position.

3

Determine Noah and Oliver's positions.

Noah is not at a corner, so Noah is at 2, 4, or 6 (facing outward). Oliver is to the immediate right of Noah. Since Noah faces outward, right is clockwise. If Noah were at 2, his right would be 3 (occupied by Quinn). If Noah were at 6, his right would be 1 (occupied by Maya). Thus, Noah must be at 4, placing Oliver at 5 (a corner).

Process of elimination based on Noah's restriction from sitting at a corner and the availability of adjacent seats.

4

Place Riley and Piper in the remaining seats.

The remaining seats are 2 and 6. Riley cannot be an immediate neighbor of Quinn (position 3). Since position 2 is adjacent to 3, Riley must be at position 6. This leaves Piper at position 2.

Condition 4 restricts Riley from sitting next to Quinn, forcing the final placements.

By applying the inclusion-exclusion principle for three overlapping sets, the number of aspirants enrolled in all three subjects is determined to be

25

. Decomposing each set into disjoint regions gives

75

candidates in Public Administration only,

Candidates not enrolled in any of the three subjects must be excluded from the universe of

300

.

2

Apply the Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion for three sets to find the three-set intersection region

|P \cap S \cap G|

|P \cup S \cup G| = |P| + |S| + |G| - (|P \cap S| + |S \cap G| + |P \cap G|) + |P \cap S \cap G| \implies 280 = 140 + 130 + 120 - (50 + 45 + 40) + |P \cap S \cap G| \implies 280 = 390 - 135 + |P \cap S \cap G| \implies |P \cap S \cap G| = 25

.

To find individual exclusive regions, the central intersection of all three sets must first be determined.

The correct remainder is 7.

The correct answer is derived by first reconstructing the number through successive division logic to find

N = 904

. Next, applying Fermat's Little Theorem simplifies

42^{63} \pmod{13}

to

1

. The expression becomes

1 - 7 = -6 \pmod{13}

, which correctly maps to a true positive remainder of

7

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the algebraic form of the number

N

based on the successive division conditions.

N = 336 \cdot Q_3 + 232

By working backward from the final quotient

Q_3

, we construct the relations:

Q_2 = 8 \cdot Q_3 + 5

,

Q_1 = 7 \cdot Q_2 + 3

, and

N = 6 \cdot Q_1 + 4

. Substituting these yields the general form for

N

.

2

Find the largest three-digit natural number

N

.

N = 904

Substitute increasing integer values for

Q_3

. For

Q_3 = 0

,

N = 232

. For

Q_3 = 1

,

N = 568

. For

Q_3 = 2

,

N = 904

. For

Q_3 = 3

,

N = 1240

(which is four digits). Thus,

904

is the largest valid three-digit number.

3

Calculate the remainder of

42^{63}

divided by

13

.

42^{63} \equiv 1 \pmod{13}

Since

42 = 13 \times 3 + 3

,

42 \equiv 3 \pmod{13}

. By Fermat's Little Theorem,

3^{12} \equiv 1 \pmod{13}

. Breaking down the exponent:

63 = 12 \times 5 + 3

. Thus,

3^{63} \equiv (3^{12})^5 \cdot 3^3 \equiv 1^5 \cdot 27 \equiv 27 \pmod{13}

. Finally,

27 \pmod{13} = 1

.

4

Calculate the remainder of

N

divided by

13

and evaluate the full expression

E

.

E \equiv 7 \pmod{13}

904 = 13 \times 69 + 7

, so

N \equiv 7 \pmod{13}

. Substituting the remainders into the expression:

E \equiv 1 - 7 = -6 \pmod{13}

. To find the true positive remainder, add the divisor:

-6 + 13 = 7

Cevap: 7

Cevap

The correct value is 7.

The correct answer is derived by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate

3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3}

. This rationalizes the denominator to

6

. Expanding the numerator gives

30 - 12\sqrt{6}

. Dividing the numerator by

6

yields

5 - 2\sqrt{6}

. Setting this equal to

a - b\sqrt{6}

identifies

a = 5

and

b = 2

, giving a final sum of

7

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator,

3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3}

.

\frac{(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3})^2}{(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3})(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3})}

This process, known as rationalizing the denominator, removes the surds from the bottom of the fraction.

2

Expand the numerator using the binomial square formula

(x-y)^2 = x^2 - 2xy + y^2

.

(3\sqrt{2})^2 - 2(3\sqrt{2})(2\sqrt{3}) + (2\sqrt{3})^2 = 18 - 12\sqrt{6} + 12 = 30 - 12\sqrt{6}

Expanding the squared binomial simplifies the top part of the fraction.

3

Expand the denominator using the difference of squares formula

(x+y)(x-y) = x^2 - y^2

.

(3\sqrt{2})^2 - (2\sqrt{3})^2 = 18 - 12 = 6

This guarantees that the denominator becomes a rational number.

4

Divide the terms in the numerator by the denominator.

\frac{30 - 12\sqrt{6}}{6} = 5 - 2\sqrt{6}

Simplifying the fraction allows us to match it to the given form

a - b\sqrt{6}

.

5

Equate the simplified expression to

a - b\sqrt{6}

and solve for

a + b

.

a = 5

b = 2

, and

a + b = 7

By direct comparison of rational and irrational parts, we determine the values of
