13. Given that ‘a’ is a positive integer, find the value of a  a  a  ....  a  a  a.....
A) 0 B) 1 C) 1 D) None of these
Answer: B

Solution: Let a  a  a  ....  x and a  a  a.....  y

Then a  x  x and a  y  y because removing a single ‘a’ from an infinite number of ‘a’ s does
not change the value of ‘x’ and ‘y’.
 a  x  x 2 and a  y  y2   a  x    a  y   x 2  y 2
  x  y    x  y  x  y   1  x  y (because x  y  0 )  x  y  1]
14. If 3a  4b  6c and a  b  c  27 29 , then a 2  b 2  c 2 is
A) 3 29 B) 81 C) 87 D) 29
Answer: C
Solution: 87

A) 15 B) 225 C) 5 D) 25
Answer: D
Solution: 140 x  1015  315
140 x  700
700 70 10
x  x x x 5
140 14 2
x  25
