The first digit can be chosen in 9 ways( other than zero), the second can be chosen in
9 ways ( any digit other then the first digit), the third digit can be chosen in 9 ways( any
digit other then the second digit ) and so on. Hence required number of numbers is 9 

Any three numbers x, y, z from {1, 2, 3, . . . .} can be chosen in nC3 ways and we get
unique triplet ( x, y, z) , x< y < z . Again any two numbers x, z can be chosen from {1, 2, 3,

First, 6 distinct digits can be selected in 10C6 ways. Now the position of smallest digit in
them is fixed i.e. position 4. Of the remaining 5 digits, two digits can be selected in 5C2
ways. These two digits can be placed to the right of 4th position in one way only. The
remaining three digits to the left of 4th position are in the required order automatically.
So n(S) = 10C6  5C2 = 210  10 = 2100 .

n! + ( n+1)! + (n+2)! = n! { 1+n +1 + ( n + 2)(n+1) } = n!( n+2)2
 Either 7 divides n + 2 or 49 divides n!  n = 5, 12, 14 .

63. Let n be a positive integer with f(n) = 1! + 2! + 3! + . . . + n! and P(x), Q(x) be polynomials
in x such that f(n+2) = P(n)f(n+1) + Q(n)f(n) for all n 1. Then
(A) P(x) = x + 3 (B) Q(x) = -x –2
(C) P(x) = -x –2 (D) Q(x) = x + 3

63. (A), (B)


f(n) = 1! + 2! + 3! + . . . . . + n!
f(n+1) = 1! + 2! + 3! + . . . . . + (n+1)!
f(n+2) = 1! + 2! + 3! + . . . . . + (n+2)!
f(n+2) – f(n+1) = ( n +2)! = ( n+2 )( n + 1)! = (n +2)[ f( n+1) – f(n) ]
 f( n+2) = (n+3)f( n+1) – (n+2)f(n)  P(x) = x +3, Q(x) = – x –2

64. The number of ordered pairs (m, n) ( m, n  { 1, 2, . . ., 20} )


such that 3m +7n is a multiple of 10, is
Downloaded from jeemain.guru

(A) 100 (B) 200


(C) 4!  4! (D) none of these

64. (A)
The last digit of powers of 3 will be 3, 9, 7, 1 and it repeats in the same order. The last digit
of powers of 7 will be 7, 9, 3,1 and it repeats in same order. Now 3m + 7n will be a multiple
of 10 as 3+7, 9+1, 7+3, 1+9.
 (m, n) will be of the form(4t+1, 4k+1), ( 4t +2, 4k), ( 4t+3, 4k+3) and (4t , 4k+2).
So total number of ways = 5  5 + 5  5 + 5  5 + 5  5 =100

65. The number of four-digit natural numbers in which odd digits occur at even places and
even digits occur at odd places and digits are in increasing order from left to right,
(A) is less than 36 (B) is greater than 100
(C) lies between 60 and 100 (D) none of these.

65. (A)
I II III IV

Two distinct odd digits for the second and fourth places can be selected in 4C2 = 6 ways
(since we cannot take 1, as first digit will be at least 2). Now these can be arranged in
increasing order in one way only. Similarly two distinct even digits for the first and third
places can be selected in 4C2 = 6 ways (since we cannot take 0). Now these can be
arranged in increasing order in one way only.
Now total number of ways of filling the four places is 6  6 = 36.
But this contains the numbers of the type 6385 which are not needed. So number of such
numbers will be less than 36.

68. (C)
Draw all ten lines y = x + r and other ten lines y = -x + r. We can observe that required
squares are 82 = 64

The number of solutions of the given equation is the same as the number of solution of the

Now if we consider the choices where difference is at least 11, then the number of solution
