Cevap: 38

Cevap

The simplified numerical value of the expression is 38.

Evaluating step-by-step according to VBODMAS order gives: first vinculum 7 - 3 = 4, then round brackets 8 - 4 = 4, followed by curly bracket division 16 ÷ 4 = 4, then square bracket addition 8 + 4 = 12, and finally 50 - 12 = 38. The value 38 correctly demonstrates strict adherence to order of operations.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Evaluate the expression under the vinculum bar

\overline{7 - 3} = 4

According to VBODMAS rules, operations under a vinculum bar have the highest priority.

2

Evaluate the expression inside the round brackets

8 - 4 = 4

Substitute the vinculum result into the round bracket.

3

Perform division inside the curly brackets

16 \div 4 = 4

Curly brackets are evaluated next after simplifying the inner round brackets.

4

Perform addition inside the square brackets

8 + 4 = 12

Cevap: $15$

Cevap

The total number of positive factors of

N

is

15

.

For a composite integer

N = p^a q^b

, the number of positive factors is

(a+1)(b+1)

. Given that

N^2 = p^{2a} q^{2b}

has

45

positive factors, we have

(2a+1)(2b+1) = 45

. Factoring

45

into odd pairs yields two possibilities for

(a, b)

:

(1, 7)

or

(2, 4)

. Using the second condition that

N^3 = p^{3a} q^{3b}

has

91

factors, we check

(3a+1)(3b+1) = 91

. For

(1, 7)

,

(4)(22) = 88 \neq 91

. For

(2, 4)

,

(7)(13) = 91

, which is correct. Therefore,

a=2

and

b=4

, so the number of positive factors of

N

is

(2+1)(4+1) = 15

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the factor count equation for

N^2

Since

N = p^a q^b

,

N^2 = p^{2a} q^{2b}

. The number of positive factors of

N^2

is

(2a+1)(2b+1) = 45

.

For a prime factorization

p^x q^y

, the total number of positive factors is

(x+1)(y+1)

.

2

Find possible integer solutions for

(a, b)

The odd factor pairs of

45

are

(3, 15)

and

(5, 9)

. This gives two possible sets of exponents: Case 1:

2a+1=3 \implies a=1

and

2b+1=15 \implies b=7

. Case 2:

2a+1=5 \implies a=2

and

2b+1=9 \implies b=4

.

Since

a, b \ge 1

, both factors

2a+1

and

2b+1

must be odd integers greater than

1

.

3

Evaluate candidate solutions using the second condition for

N^3

For

N^3 = p^{3a} q^{3b}

, the number of factors is

(3a+1)(3b+1) = 91

. Testing Case 1 (

a=1, b=7

):

(3(1)+1)(3(7)+1) = 4 \times 22 = 88 \neq 91

. Testing Case 2 (

a=2, b=4

):

(3(2)+1)(3(4)+1) = 7 \times 13 = 91

, which matches.

The true exponent values must simultaneously satisfy both given conditions.

4

Calculate the total number of positive factors of

N

With

a=2

and

b=4

,

N = p^2 q^4

. The total number of positive factors of

N

is

(2+1)(4+1) = 3 \times 5 = 15

.

Apply the total factor formula

(a+1)(b+1)

to

N

.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 27.5

Cevap

The percentage share of Zone B in the total horticulture harvest across all four zones combined in 2024 is

27.5\%

.

The total harvest across all four zones in 2024 is

400 + 550 + 350 + 700 = 2000

metric tonnes. Zone B contributed

550

metric tonnes in 2024. Dividing

550

A positive integer $N$ is divisible by $10$ . The sum of all distinct prime factors of $N$ is $10$ , and $N$ has exactly $12$ positive factors. What is the smallest possible value of $N$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 60

Cevap

The smallest possible value of

N

is

60

.

Because

N

is divisible by

10

, its prime factorization must contain

2

and

5

. The sum of all distinct prime factors is

10

, which requires

2 + 5 + p = 10

, giving

p = 3

. Hence,

N = 2^a \times 3^b \times 5^c

with

a, b, c \ge 1

. The number of factors is

(a+1)(b+1)(c+1) = 12

. The unique product representation of

12

using three integers

\ge 2

is

3 \times 2 \times 2

, meaning the exponents are one

2

and two

1

s. Minimizing

N

requires assigning the highest exponent

2

to the smallest prime

2

, giving

N = 2^2 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 = 60

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the distinct prime factors of

N

The distinct prime factors are

2, 3,

and

5

.

Divisibility by

10

implies

2

and

5

are prime factors of

N

. The sum of distinct prime factors is

10

, so the remaining prime factor is

10 - (2 + 5) = 3

.

2

Determine the exponents in the prime factorization of

N

The set of exponents

\{a, b, c\}

must be

\{2, 1, 1\}

.

The total number of factors is

(a+1)(b+1)(c+1) = 12

Cevap: 42.5

Cevap

The simplified value of the expression is 42.5.

Evaluating strictly according to VBODMAS rules, we first simplify the expression under the vinculum bar (2.1 - 0.6 = 1.5), then the round brackets (3.5 - 1.5 = 2), followed by the curly brackets (10 ÷ 2 = 5), and then the square brackets (16 - 5 = 11). Finally, executing multiplication before addition yields 15 + (2.5 × 11) = 15 + 27.5 = 42.5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Evaluate the expression under the vinculum (bar)

\overline{2.1 - 0.6} = 1.5

According to VBODMAS, the vinculum takes highest priority over standard brackets.

2

Evaluate the terms inside the innermost parentheses (round brackets)

3.5 - 1.5 = 2.0

Parentheses are evaluated next after resolving the vinculum.

3

Evaluate the expression inside the curly brackets

10 \div 2.0 = 5

Division within the curly brackets takes priority before moving outward.

4

Evaluate the expression inside the square brackets

16 - 5 = 11

Resolve the remaining operations within the square brackets.

5

Perform multiplication before addition

15 + (2.5 \times 11) = 15 + 27.5 = 42.5

Multiplication takes precedence over addition according to BODMAS rules.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: ₹72.15 crore

Cevap

₹72.15 crore

To find the total rail transshipment revenue, compute the rail-moved tonnage for each terminal: North (1.80 lakh tonnes), South (3.90 lakh tonnes), East (1.75 lakh tonnes), and West (1.50 lakh tonnes). Multiplying each by its respective revenue per tonne yields ₹14.40 crore, ₹29.25 crore, ₹15.75 crore, and ₹12.75 crore. Summing these four values gives exactly ₹72.15 crore.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert cargo volumes from thousand metric tonnes to tonnes for each terminal

North: 4,50,000 tonnes; South: 6,00,000 tonnes; East: 3,50,000 tonnes; West: 5,00,000 tonnes.

The table header specifies cargo handled in 'thousand metric tonnes'.

2

Calculate the rail transshipment volume for each terminal

North: 4,50,000 × 40% = 1,80,000 tonnes
South: 6,00,000 × 65% = 3,90,000 tonnes
East: 3,50,000 × 50% = 1,75,000 tonnes
West: 5,00,000 × 30% = 1,50,000 tonnes

Rail transshipment share percentage is applied to total cargo volume of each terminal.

3

Compute revenue from rail transshipment for each terminal

North: 1,80,000 × ₹800 = ₹14,40,00,000 (₹14.40 crore)
South: 3,90,000 × ₹750 = ₹29,25,00,000 (₹29.25 crore)
East: 1,75,000 × ₹900 = ₹15,75,00,000 (₹15.75 crore)
West: 1,50,000 × ₹850 = ₹12,75,00,000 (₹12.75 crore)

Multiply rail transshipment tonnes by revenue per tonne.

4

Sum the rail transshipment revenues across all terminals

₹14.40 crore + ₹29.25 crore + ₹15.75 crore + ₹12.75 crore = ₹72.15 crore (₹72,15,00,000).

Total combined rail revenue is the sum of terminal-level rail revenues.

By converting all terms in the equation to base 3 and applying index rules (

a^x \cdot a^y = a^{x+y}

\frac{a^x}{a^y} = a^{x-y}

), the expression simplifies directly to

3^m = 3^4

m = 4

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express all terms with a common base of 3

9^{m-2} = (3^2)^{m-2} = 3^{2m-4}

and

27^{m-1} = (3^3)^{m-1} = 3^{3m-3}

Rewriting powers with a single prime base allows for simplification using the laws of indices.

2

Simplify the numerator using the product rule of exponents

3^{2m+1} \cdot 3^{2m-4} = 3^{(2m+1) + (2m-4)} = 3^{4m-3}

According to the product rule

a^x \cdot a^y = a^{x+y}

, exponents with the same base are added during multiplication.

3

Apply the quotient rule of exponents to simplify the left-hand side

\frac{3^{4m-3}}{3^{3m-3}} = 3^{(4m-3) - (3m-3)} = 3^m

According to the quotient rule

\frac{a^x}{a^y} = a^{x-y}

, exponents are subtracted during division.

4

Express the right-hand side in base 3 and solve for

m

3^m = 81 = 3^4 \implies m = 4

Since the bases on both sides of the equation are equal, the exponents must also be equal.

Evaluate the two events described below to identify their causal relationship.

Event I: The metropolitan transit authority recently deployed a massive fleet of fully air-conditioned, highly subsidized electric buses across all major urban routes.
Event II: Private ride-hailing applications operating within the metropolitan area have reported an unprecedented 30% drop in passenger bookings over the last few weeks.

Which of the following logically explains the relationship between Event I and Event II?

Both Event I and Event II are separate effects resulting from independent causes.

Both Event I and Event II are parallel effects stemming from a common underlying cause.

Event II serves as the cause, and Event I is the logical effect of it.

Event I serves as the cause, and Event II is the logical effect of it.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Event I serves as the cause, and Event II is the logical effect of it.

Cevap

The first event serves as the cause, and the second event is the logical effect.

The deployment of a cheap, comfortable public transit alternative directly causes a shift in consumer behavior, reducing the demand for more expensive private ride-hailing services. Therefore, the first event is the direct catalyst for the second.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze Event I to determine its nature and potential market impact.

Event I involves the introduction of a highly subsidized, comfortable public transportation option.

Understanding the characteristics of the new service helps predict how consumers will react to a cheaper travel alternative.

2

Analyze Event II to determine its nature and possible triggers.

Event II involves a sudden decrease in demand for private ride-hailing services.

Identifying that Event II represents a negative demand shift prompts a search for a substitute service that may have attracted these customers.

3

Evaluate the chronological and logical link between the two events.

The deployment of the subsidized buses acts as a highly attractive substitute, which logically leads consumers to abandon more expensive private taxis, resulting in the booking drop.

A direct cause-and-effect relationship is confirmed when one event logically and directly accounts for the occurrence of the other.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1

Cevap

1

The remainder when dividing by 10 is determined by the unit digit of the expression. First, evaluate the multiplication:

5 \times 3 = 15

. Next, find the unit digit of

2^{40}

. The powers of 2 follow a cyclicity of 4 (2, 4, 8, 6). Since 40 is perfectly divisible by 4, the unit digit corresponds to the 4th value in the cycle, which is 6. Substituting these into the expression gives

6 - 15 = -9

. To find the valid positive remainder modulo 10, the divisor 10 must be added to the negative result:

-9 + 10 = 1

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Evaluate the multiplication part of the expression.

The term

5 \times 3

equals

15

. The expression simplifies to

2^{40} - 15

.

The order of operations (BODMAS) requires multiplication to be performed before subtraction.

2

Determine the unit digit (remainder modulo 10) of

2^{40}

by identifying the cyclicity of base 2.

The unit digits of powers of 2 repeat in a cycle of 4: 2, 4, 8, 6.

Since dividing by 10 is equivalent to finding the unit digit, we use power cyclicity to simplify large exponents.

3

Divide the exponent 40 by the cyclicity length 4.

40 divided by 4 leaves a remainder of 0. A remainder of 0 corresponds to the 4th position in the cycle.

The remainder determines the position in the cyclicity sequence. A remainder of 0 means the sequence has completed a full cycle.

4

Substitute the determined unit digit back into the simplified expression.

The 4th power in the cycle ends in 6. Substituting this into the expression yields

6 - 15 = -9

.

Replacing the large power with its unit digit equivalent allows us to calculate the raw remainder.

5

Convert the negative remainder into a valid positive remainder modulo 10.

-9 + 10 = 1

. The final remainder is 1.

Remainders must be non-negative integers smaller than the divisor. Adding the divisor to a negative remainder provides the correct positive equivalent.

In a state handloom and textile development initiative, data was collected from three handicraft clusters: Cluster A, Cluster B, and Cluster C. A total of $1,200$ weavers are registered across these three clusters. The number of weavers in Cluster C is $300$ , of which $40\%$ are female. The number of weavers in Cluster A is $25\%$ more than the number of weavers in Cluster B. In Cluster B, the ratio of male to female weavers is $3:2$ . If the total number of female weavers across all three clusters is $480$ , what is the total number of male weavers registered in Cluster A?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 300

Cevap

The total number of male weavers registered in Cluster A is 300.

By determining the total weavers in Cluster A (500) and Cluster B (400), and finding the female counts in Cluster C (120) and Cluster B (160), we deduce that Cluster A has 200 female weavers. Subtracting 200 from the 500 total weavers in Cluster A leaves 300 male weavers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine total weavers in Clusters A and B combined

900 weavers

Subtract Cluster C weavers (300) from the overall total of 1,200 weavers.

2

Calculate weavers in Cluster B and Cluster A

Cluster B = 400 weavers, Cluster A = 500 weavers

Set Cluster A = 1.25 × Cluster B. Then 2.25 × Cluster B = 900, yielding Cluster B = 400 and Cluster A = 500.

3

Determine female weavers in Cluster C and Cluster B

Cluster C females = 120, Cluster B females = 160

40% of 300 is 120 for Cluster C. Based on the 3:2 male to female ratio in Cluster B, females account for 2/5 of 400, which is 160.

4

Calculate female weavers in Cluster A

200 female weavers

Subtract known females in B (160) and C (120) from the total 480 female weavers: 480 - (120 + 160) = 200.

5

Calculate male weavers in Cluster A

300 male weavers

Subtract female weavers in Cluster A from total weavers in Cluster A: 500 - 200 = 300.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $₹4,000\text{ Lakhs}$

Cevap

The total financial loss incurred due to grain spoilage across Hub Alpha and Hub Gamma combined is

₹4,000\text{ Lakhs}

.

To find the total financial loss due to spoilage across Hub Alpha and Hub Gamma, we calculate the spoiled quantity for each hub based on the actual grain stored (in MT):
- Hub Alpha:

200,000\text{ MT} \times 4\% = 8,000\text{ MT}

- Hub Gamma:

240,000\text{ MT} \times 5\% = 12,000\text{ MT}

Total spoiled quantity

= 8,000 + 12,000 = 20,000\text{ MT}

.
At

₹20,000

per MT, total loss

= 20,000 \times 20,000 = ₹400,000,000

. Expressed in Lakhs (

1\text{ Lakh} = 100,000

), this equals

₹4,000\text{ Lakhs}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the actual quantity of spoiled grain in Hub Alpha

Spoiled grain in Alpha =

4\% \times 200,000\text{ MT} = 8,000\text{ MT}

Actual grain stored in Alpha is

200 \times 1,000 = 200,000\text{ MT}

and spoilage rate is

4\%

.

2

Calculate the actual quantity of spoiled grain in Hub Gamma

Spoiled grain in Gamma =

5\% \times 240,000\text{ MT} = 12,000\text{ MT}

Actual grain stored in Gamma is

240 \times 1,000 = 240,000\text{ MT}

and spoilage rate is

5\%

.

3

Find the combined total quantity of spoiled grain

Total spoiled grain =

8,000\text{ MT} + 12,000\text{ MT} = 20,000\text{ MT}

Combine the spoiled quantities from both hubs.

4

Compute the total financial loss in Rupees and convert to Lakhs

Total Loss =

20,000\text{ MT} \times ₹20,000/\text{MT} = ₹400,000,000 = ₹4,000\text{ Lakhs}

Multiply total spoiled MT by the cost per MT (

₹20,000

) and divide by

100,000

Five professional athletes (M, N, O, P, and Q) are assigned to five adjacent lockers, numbered 1 to 5 from left to right. Each athlete plays a different sport (Boxing, Golf, Rugby, Soccer, or Tennis) and is sponsored by a different brand (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, or Epsilon). The following conditions apply to their locker assignments:

1. The Rugby player's locker is immediately to the left of the Golf player's locker.
2. M's locker is immediately to the right of the locker belonging to the athlete sponsored by Gamma.
3. N plays Tennis and is assigned Locker 3.
4. The athlete sponsored by Delta is assigned a locker at one of the extreme ends.
5. Q's locker is positioned somewhere to the left of O's locker.
6. The Soccer player is sponsored by Beta, and this locker is immediately to the right of N's locker.
7. P plays Boxing.
8. N is not sponsored by Alpha.

M, Golf, Epsilon

Q, Rugby, Gamma

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: M, Golf, Alpha

Cevap

The athlete assigned to Locker 2 is M, who plays Golf and is sponsored by Alpha.

By mapping all rules to a 5-position grid, Locker 1 holds Q/Rugby/Gamma, Locker 2 holds M/Golf/Alpha, Locker 3 holds N/Tennis/Epsilon, Locker 4 holds O/Soccer/Beta, and Locker 5 holds P/Boxing/Delta. The required combination for Locker 2 is therefore M, Golf, and Alpha.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Place known exact positions.

Locker 3 is N (Tennis).

Directly stated in Rule 3.

2

Use relative positioning clues anchored to knowns.

Locker 4 is the Soccer player sponsored by Beta.

Rule 6 states the Soccer player (Beta) is immediately to the right of N (Locker 3).

3

Deduce remaining sports based on adjacent pair constraints.

Locker 1 is Rugby, Locker 2 is Golf, and Locker 5 is Boxing.

Rule 1 requires Rugby and Golf to be adjacent in that order. The only adjacent empty sport slots are 1 and 2. Therefore, Locker 1 = Rugby, Locker 2 = Golf. By elimination, Locker 5 must be the final sport, Boxing.

4

Assign remaining athletes based on sports and relative clues.

Locker 5 is P, Locker 1 is Q, Locker 4 is O, and Locker 2 is M.

Rule 7 states P plays Boxing, so P is Locker 5. Rule 5 states Q is left of O. The empty athlete slots are 1 and 4, so Q is Locker 1 and O is Locker 4. This leaves Locker 2 for M.

5

Assign sponsors based on positional constraints.

Locker 1 is Gamma, Locker 5 is Delta.

Rule 2 states M (Locker 2) is immediately right of Gamma. Thus, Gamma is Locker 1. Rule 4 places Delta at an extreme end. Since Locker 1 is Gamma, Delta must be Locker 5.

6

Finalize remaining sponsors using negations.

Locker 3 is Epsilon, Locker 2 is Alpha.

The remaining sponsors are Alpha and Epsilon for N (Locker 3) and M (Locker 2). Rule 8 states N is not Alpha, so N is assigned Epsilon. M is assigned Alpha.
