Some tiny bits of wisdom that I gleaned over the weekend.

There is a good chance that your house keys are in your jeans pockets. Search thoroughly before panicking the rest of the world.
Friday evening might not be the best day to clean your kitchen.
If you don’t heed to the previous point, atleast make sure that you do not have anything on the kitchen windows, before you attempt to clean it.
If you drop something on the sunshade of the apartment below you, the easiest way to fetch it, is by using a mop to push the item down.
There is no guarantee that the item that you pushed from the top is going to survive after the fall.
It is okay to skip the IPL semifinals / finals and go to sleep, if you are sleep starved.
Some kind soul will always be interested in letting their presence felt by sending an SMS close to midnight.
If you wake up thanks to the SMS, use the opportunity to catchup on the scores before you start to snore again.
There is a lot of chance that you will have a hang over on the Monday morning, even after three rounds of coffee. Live with it

Enjoy and have a great week ahead.

Answers

Hi All.

Good news for all of you is that I am back in India and the bad news associated with it is, BSNL is taking hell lot of time in activating broadband at my home.

Anyways. Here are the long awaited answers. I am not answering individual comments as that will be too long a post for all to read.

Here the answers go.

1. Both x and y are prime. All primes except 2 are odd. 3ab59 is odd. So 1 of x and y has to be even and other odd. The only even prime we know is 2 and thats smallest as well. Since x < y, x has to be 2.

2. Here the ‘click’ point should be ‘None of the 2 is -ve’. If you start from that you can easily figure out that p and q both are non -ve i.e. 0 and +ve. Hence p = 0 and q = 1024.

3. Answer is infinite. Most of you are correct.

4. I am asking what’s your dad’s name. You are telling me how many uncles you have. I am asking you to tell me 1 rational no. between the 2 given rational no. and am not asking how many between the 2. Simplest answer as per me is (1.3333….. + 1.444…..)/2. Yes answers of many are correct. I better suggest revise 9th class NCERT funda of inserting n rational numbers between 2 given rational numbers.
Say 1.333… = a and 1.444… = b and I ask you to tell me 2 rationals between a and b. Then let d = (b-a)/3. 1st rational number will be a + d and 2nd will be a + 2d. I hope this is enough for you to recollect the basics.

5. opinionated and all others, please note only a finite number of perfect numbers are known so far. If i can recall from my ‘getting older’ memory, there are 46 perfect numbers known and 2 of them are less then 100. so the answer should be 44. Howzz that??

6. Its the coolest one. Answer is 2 such pair and those are (1,99) and (99,1). Do u still need an explaination??

7. Ans is (42317-42)/99= 42275/99. Max 3 seconds job after u have read the ques. Please note in short i have also explained the process.

8. Ans is b. See the explaination of 7.

9. Ans is 5. This was a 15 sec question. Logic is 1001 ^ 1001 divided by 9, whatever is the remainder is the answer. Why – because thats the concept. To know more of the concept I need a face to face class cant explain by writing.

10. a= 2, b= 1, c = 9, d = 7 and e = 8. This involves more of logic and less of NUMBERS. All u guys do a little brain storm. Its difficult for me to explain this by writing. By the way this was an old CAT actual question. and there were 5 ques. I solved this in 3 minutes 15 sec. which I think is worth 5 ques.

Here comes a ques based on the last set of questions. Lets see how fast I get a reply.

Q1. 3p5q7 = x + y. x and y are natural numbers and x < y. Both x and y are prime. What is x?

Q2. Give one rational number between 1.9999……. and 2.0.

All d best.

A cricket update for a long time. With Mumbai Indians refusing to put up a fight, here are my predictions for the semi finals.

Delhi Daredevils
Chennai Super Kings
Deccan Chargers
Rajasthan Royals

Delhi and Chennai will go for the finals and I expect Delhi to win. Let us see how it goes

Sometimes I wonder why am I here getting stuck with this. Big corporations makes people forget the humanness. They lose the human touch and all they are interested in flexing their muscles and showing who they are. Reality strikes and I remember that I cannot solve every problem and bring in world peace. I scream and move on.

Now-a-days I am reading Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore. This is the book which brought the Nobel prize to Tagore. This is the real piece of literature. Seriously, I had never read anything like this, not in the philosophical terms but in terms of language used. For me this is really phodu. A must read for MBA aspirants because until and unless we will read the phodu (;)) content online, we won’t feel that CAT passages are not so difficult. And we need that aptitude to crack the CAT passages. So make sure that you are reading some phodu content also, apart from the normal Hindu, TOI, Frontline, BT, BW etc. Also now start focusing on readin the material on computer. I will keep bringing some good stuff to read online.BTW, this work is under public domain, so you can also distribute it among your friends without worrying about the copyright issue.
