## Objective

1. For all finite word strings comprising A and B only, A string is arranged by dictionary order. eg. ABAA
2.  For any arbitrary string w, with another string y<w, there cannot always exist a string x, w<x<y
3. There is an infinite set of strings a1,a2… such that ai<a(i+1) for all i.
4. There are fewer than 50 strings less than AABBABBA

• In some country number plates are formed by 2 digits and 3 vowels. It is called confusing if it has both digit 0 and vowel o.
1. How many such number plates exist?
2. How many are not confusing
• A number is called magical if a and b are not coprime to n, a+b is also not coprime to n. For example, 2 is magical as all even numbers are not coprime to 2. Find whether the following numbers are magical
1. 129
2. 128
3. 127
4. 100

1. In a circle, AB be the diameter.. X is an external point. Using straight edge construct a perpendicular to AB from X
1. If X is inside the circle then how can this be done
Discussion
2. a be a positive integer from set {2, 3, 4, … 9999}. Show that there are exactly two positive integers in that set such that 10000 divides a*a-1.
1. Put $n^2 - 1$ in place of 9999. How many positive integers a exists such that $n^2$ divides a(a-1)
Discussion
3. P(x) is a polynomial. Show that $\displaystyle { \lim_{t to \infty} \frac{P(t)} {e^t} }$ exists. Also show that the limit does not depend on the polynomial.
4. We define function $\displaystyle { f(x) = \frac {e^{\frac{-1}{x}}}{x}}$ when x< 0; f(x) = 0 if x=0 and $\displaystyle { f(x) = \frac {e^{\frac{-1}{x}}}{x}}$ when x > 0 . Show that the function is continuous and differentiable. Find limit at x =0
5. p,q,r any real number such that $p^2 + q^2 + r^2 = 1$
1. Show that $3*(p^2 q + p^2 r) + 2(r^3 +q^3) \le 2$
2. Suppose $f(p,q,r) = 3(p^2 q + p^2 r ) + 2(r^3 +q^3)$ .  At what values (p,q, r) does f(p,q,r) maximizes and minimizes?
6. Let g(n) is GCD of (2n+9) and $6n^2+11n-2$ then then find greatest value of g(n)
