83. The remainder, when 19200 + 23200 is divided by 49 , is

Sol. 29
19200 + 23200 an + bn
193 = 6859 = 140 × 49 – 1
= 49 – 1
(193)66 = (49 – 1)66
So, Remainder of 19198 divided by 49
is (–1)66 = 1
 192 = 361 gives remainder 18
So, 19200 gives remainder 18
232 gives remainder 39
(23)3 gives remainder 15
(23)4 gives remainder 2
((23)4)6 gives remainder (2)6 = 64

84. The number of 3-digit numbers, that are divisible by either 2 or 3 but not divisible by 7 , is
Sol. 514
3 digit numbers divisible by either 2 or 3
P = n(divisible by 2) + n(divisible by 3) – n(divisible by 6)
P = 450 + 300 – 150
P = 600
Q = n(divisible by 14) + n(divisible by 21) – n(divisible by 42)
= 64 + 43 – 21 = 86
3 digit number divisible by either 2 or 3
But not divisible by –1 so P – Q = 600 – 86 = 514

f(x).ex =  ex dx
 f(x) .ex = ex + C
 f(x) =  + Ce–x
put f(0) = e–2

 g(x) = x2(A + B + 2) + Ax + 2
g'(x) = 2x(A + B + 2) + A
g'(1) = A
 2(A + B + 2) + A = A
A + B = – 2 ….(i)
g''(x) = 2(A + B + 2)
