Find the value of [($ + 2)? dad Jain +B) \s+2r) Let A = {1,2,-++,10}. Count the number of ordered pairs ($i, 52), where S; and S are non-intersecting and non-empty subsets of A such that the largest number in ‘S; is smaller than the smallest number in Sp. For example, if S; = {1,4} and Sp = {5,6,7}, then (S;, $2) is such an ordered pair. Each cell of an 2020 x 2020 table is filled with a number which is either 1 or —1. For i=1,...,2020, let R; be the product of all the numbers in the ith row and let C; be the product of all the numbers in the ith column. Suppose Rj + O; = 0 for all i = 1,... , 2020. What is the least number of —1’s in the table? ‘Assume that the sequence {a4} follows an arithmetic progression with aj-+as-+ag = 24. Find the maximum value of Ss x S10, where Sz denotes the sum a) + a2 + +--+ ax.
