1. If n is the sum of two consecutive odd integers and less than 100, what is the greatest possibility of n? Solution: Taking greatest possibility we take 51 + 49 but 51 + 49 = 100, we need x + y < 100 so we take 47 + 49 = 96 2. If the roots of the equation (x + 1) (x + 9) + 8 = 0 are a and b, then the roots of the equation (x + a) (x + b) - 8 = 0 are Solution: (x + 1) (x + 9) + 8 = 0 => (x^2) + 10x + 17 = 0 Hence a+b = -10 and ab=17 (x + a) (x + b) - 8 = 0 => (x^2) + (a+b)x + ab - 8 = 0 (x^2) + 10x + 17 - 8 = 0 => x = 1,9 3. If F(X) = AF(X)4 + B(X)2 + X + 5 , F(– 3) = 2, then F(3) = ? Solution: f(-3)=af(-3)4+bf(-3)+(-3)+5 2=a*2*4+b*2+2 8a+4b=0 f(3)=af(3)4+bf(3)2+3+5 f(3)[1-4a-2b]=_8 multiply by 2 both sides f(3)[2-(8a+4b)]=16 f(3)=8 (or) 81a+9b-3+5=2 =>81a+9b+5=5 now f(3) 81a+9b+3+5 =5+3=8 4. 4^2 + 2* 5^2 + 3* 6^2 +4* 7^2+...........+27*30^2 ? Solution: ∑ r^2 = n(n+...
