a, b are positive integers such that

(A) the sum of their square is S

The number of numbers of the form 30a0b03 where a, b are digits which are divisible by 13 is
(A) 5
(B) 6
(C) 7
(D) 0
30a0b03 = 3000003 + 10000a + 100b
= 13k1 + 6 + 13k2 + 3a + 13k3 + 9b
= 13 (k1 + k2 + k3) + (6 + 3a + 9b)
= 13 (k1 + k2 + k3) + 3(2 + a + 3b)
= 2 + a + 3b should be divisible by 13
as a, b are the digits
2 + a + 3b = 13, 26
when 2 + a +3b = 13
then the possible values b are 1, 2, 3 so 3 cases are possible
when 2 + a +3b = 26
then the possible values b are 5, 6, 7, 8 so 4 cases are possible
so total cases are 7

The number of ordered triples (x, y, z) such that x, y, z are primes and xy + 1 = z is
(A) 0
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) infinitely many
xy + 1 = Z
x cannot be odd because if it is odd
then xy + 1 even so z is even
but z is prime. so that why x cannot be odd
x is even x = 2
2y + 1 = z
x = 2, y = 2, 3 = 5
but when y is odd then 2y + 1 is always be divisible by 2 + 1 = 3. so 2y + 1 = z is not prime
only 1 triplet is possible (2, 3, 5)

In the adjoining figure O is the centre of the circle. ACOB is a square with A on the circle. Through B a

a, b, c are digits of a 3-digit number such that 64a + 8b + c = 403, then the value of a + b + c + 2013
is
(A) 2024
(B) 2025
(C) 2034
(D) 2035
64a + 8b + c = 403
64a + 8b = 403 C
as LHS is multiple of 8.
RHS should be a multiple of 8
C=3
64a + 8b = 403 3 = 400
8a + b = 50
8a = 50 b
LHS is multiple of 8
RHS is multiple of 8
b=2
8a = 48
a=6
a + b + c + 2013 = 6 + 2 + 3 + 2013 = 2024
What is the sum of the digits of (9999999999)3
(A) 99
(B) 108
(C) 180
93 = 729
993 = 997002999
(9999999999)3 = (10 1)nine 700 .....2(10) times 9
sum of digit
= 9 9 + 7 + 10 9 + 2
= 81 + 7 + 90 = 180

The number of three digits number which are divisible by 3 and have the additional property that the
sum of their digits is 4 times their middle digit is
(A) 7
(B) 4
(C) 11
(D) 10
a + b + c = 4b
a + c = 3b
sum of two digit is not more than 18
as a + c is equal to multiple of 3 also
a + c = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
b = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
as no. is div. by 3
a + b + c = 3k
3b + b = 3k
4b = 3k
b is multiple of 3
If b = 3 then a + c = 9
If b = 6 then a + c = 18
a = 1, c = 8
a = 9, c = 8
a=2,c=7
so only 1 cases is form
and so on a = 9, c = 0
so 9 cases are form
so total cases are 10
In the adjoining figure AB is a diameter of a circle. AB is produced to P such that BP = radius of the
