We can analyze, alphabets are getting repeated in particular interval
a-1, b-2, c-3, d-4, e-5 times.
This represents an AP with first term as 1 and common difference as 1.
Hence, Sum of first n terms of AP= n(n+1)/2
Now, we have to use hit and trial with the possible value of n.
If we take n= 23, then sum= 276
i.e. 23rd alphabet (i.e. w) will continue till 276th term.
Now taking n=24
24th alphabet (i.e. x) will continue till 300th term.
Hence, 288th term will be x.

Given, xy x y = 0
Adding 1 to both side of the equation, we get
xy x y + 1 = 1
y(x 1) 1(x 1) = 1
(y 1)(x 1) = 1 - eq(1)
As x and y are integers, x 1 and y 1 are integers.
Hence x 1, and y 1 must both be 1 or -1 to satisfy Eq (i) i.e. x=2, y=2 and x=0 and y=0.
Hence, only two integer pairs satisfy the condition x + y = xy

If each box is to be weighted (in pair) with every other box, then there would be ten such
combinations of weight. The best way to solve this problem is through option.
Maximum weight cannot be 60 kg because to make the total weight of two boxes 121 Kg other
should be 61 Kg. Again if the maximum weight is 64 Kg then to make a total weight of 121 kg
other box weight should be 57 kg and so make up to a total of 120 Kg the next box weight
should be 63 Kg. Now if we add up the weight of 63 kg and 64 kg boxes, the total becomes 127
and this combination is not given in the question. However, if we consider the maximum weight
to be 62 Kg, then other boxes would be of 59 Kg, 54 Kg, 58 Kg, 5 Kg. respectively. Hence the
maximum weight would be 62 Kg.

Let the number of students in the front row be x and number of rows be n.
Hence, number of students in the next rows would be (x 3), (x 6), (x 9),.. and so on
If n, i.e. number of rows be 3, then number of students
=x + (x 3) + (x 6) = 630
i.e. 3x = 639 i.e. x= 213 (Thus n=3 possible)
Likewise, if n=4,
then x + (x 3) + (x 6) +(x 9) = 630
i.e. 4x 18 = 630 i.e. x= 162
(Thus, n=4 is also possible)
If n=5, then
x + (x 3) + (x 6) + (x 6) + (x 9) + ( x 12) = 630
i.e. 5x- 30= 630
5x = 660 i.e. x= 132
(Thus, n=5 is also possible)
If n=6 then 6x= 675
In this case value of x cannot be a integer.
Therefore, n=6 is not possible.

The shaded portion represents the area which shows people who do not watch DD channel.
Since 80% watch DD hence 20% do now watch DD. Let those who watch BBC and CNN only x
% then .
12+10-x=20
Hence x= 2

Let x, y and z be the hundredth, tens and unit digits of the original number.
According to question,
(100z + 10y + x) ( 100x + 10y + z) = 594
99(z-x)= 594
(z-x)=6
So, the possible values of (x, z) are (1, 7), (2, 8), and (3, 9)
Again, the tens digit can have any values from 0, 1, 2, 3, 9
Hence. Minimum value of their sum= x + y + z = 1 + 0 + 7 = 8

223 + 233 + 243 + 253 ++ 873 + 883
On rearranging = (22 3 +883) + (233 + 873) + (243 + 863)+..(543 + 563) + 553
Now, we know that an + bn is divisible by (a + b) when n is odd number.Therefore, all the
terms except 553, is divisible by 110.
Now, the remainder when 553 is divided by 110 is 55
Hence the required remainder when whole expression is divided by 110 is 55.

Total number of passenger in the Rajdhani Express=10 x 20=200
So, in the 9 boggies the minimum number of total passengers
=12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 = 144
Hence minimum number of passengers in one boggie can be (200 144) = 56
