Question: A 6-8 digit password is to be made using A, B, C, D, E, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, with repetition

allowed. If number of such passwords containing atleast one digit is x × 56 then x = ?
Answer: 7073.00
Solution:
6 digit _ _ _ _ _ _ :106 − 56
7 digit _ _ _ _ _ _ _ :107 − 57
8 digit _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ :108 − 58
Total: 106 − 56 + 107 − 57 + 108 − 58

Question: Let z1 ∈ C , z1 − 3 = , z2 ∈ C , z2 + z2 − 1 = z2 − z2 + 1 , then least value of z1 − z2
2
is:
3
Answer:
2
Solution:
2 2
z2 + z2 − 1 = z2 − z2 + 1
⇒ ( z2 + z2 − 1 )( z2 + z2 − 1 ) = ( z2 − z2 + 1 )( z2 − z2 + 1 )

⇒ z2 ( z2 − 1 + z2 + 1 ) + z2 ( z2 − 1 + z2 + 1 ) = z2 + 1 − z2 − 1
2 2

⇒ ( z2 + z2 ) ( z2 + 1 + z2 − 1=
) 2 ( z2 + z2 )
0 or z2 + 1 + z2 − 1 =
Either z2 + z2 = 2
