Find the remainder when (sum_(r=1)^(5)""^(20)C_(2r-1))^(6) is divided by 11. |
|
Answer» We know that `.^(20)C_(1)+.^(20)C_(3)+.^(20)C_(5)+.^(20)C_(7)+"......"+.^(20)C_(19)=2^(19)` Now, `.^(20)C_(1)=.^(20)C_(19),.^(20)C_(3)=.^(20)C_(17)"....."`ETC. `:. 2(.^(20)C_(1)+.^(20)C_(3)+"...."+.^(20)C_(9))=2^(19)` `rArr .^(20)C_(1)+.^(20)C_(3)+"....."+.^(20)C_(9)=2^(18)` `rArr E = (2^(18))^(6) = 2^(108)` `= 8(2^(5))^(21)` `= 8(33-1)^(21)` `= 8(33k-1)` `= 8 xx 33k - 8` `= 11(8xx3k-1)+3` Therefore, the REMAINDER when `(underset(r=1)overset(5)sum.^(20)C_(2r-1))^(6)` is divided by 11 is 3. |

Pedal Triangle of a Triangle: Let Delta ABC be any triangle and let D, E, F be the feet of perpendiculars from the vertices A, B, C on the opposite sides BC, CA, AB respectively, then the triangle DEF is known as Pedal triangle of ABC. H is the orthocentre of the Delta ABC. We note that angle HDC= angle HEC=90^(@)' therefore angle HDE= angle HCE =90^(@) -A. Simillarly angle HDF =angle HBF=90^(@)-A. Hence, angle FDE=180^(@)-2A. Identically we can find angle DEF = 180^(@)-2B and angle EFD=180^(@) -2C. Thus, the angles of Pedal triangle are 180^(@)-2A, 180^(@) -2B, 180^(@)-2C. Further in Delta BFD, angle FDB=90^(@)-(90^(@)-A) =A, thus (FB)/(sin B)=(FB)/(sin A) therefore FD=(sin B)/(sin A) (BC cos B) = (a sin B cos B)/(sin A) = 2R sin B cos B=b cos B. Similarly, EF=a cos A and DE =c cos C. Thus, the sides of pedal triangle are a cos A, b cos B and c cos C (or R sin 2A, R sin 2B, R sin 2C), where R is the circumradius of Delta ABC. In the above derivation, the triangle ABC is assumed an acute angled triangle. In case the triangle ABC be obtuse angled with A as obtuse angle, then, the angles of pedal triangle will be represented by 2A - 180^(@), 2B,2C andthe sides will be represented by -a cos A, b cos B, c cos C. The inradius of the pedal triangle of a tringle ABC is |

Answer» `rArr [x_(1)] = [(3,2,-1)] [[y_(1)],[y_(2)],[y_(3)]]` Putting the values of `y_(1), y_(2), y_(3), ` we GET `[x_(1)] = [(3,2,-1)] [[z_(1)-z_(2)+z_(3)],[0+z_(2)+3z_(3)],[2z_(1)+z_(2)+0]]` `= [(3,2,-1)] [[1,-1,1],[0,1,3],[2,1,0]][[z_(1)],[z_(2)],[z_(3)]]` `=[(3+0-2,-3+2-1,3+6+0)][[z_(1)],[z_(2)],[z_(3)]]` `=[(1,-2,9)][[z_(1)],[z_(2)],[z_(3)]]` `[x_(1)]= [z_(1)-2z_(2)+9z_(3)]` `therefore x_(1) = z_(1) - 2x_(2) + 9z_(3) ""...(i)` Further, `x_(2) = -y_(1) + 4y_(2) + 5y_(3) ` `rArr [x_(2)] = [(-1, 4,5)][[y_(1)],[y_(2)],[y_(3)]]` Putting the values of `y_(1),y_(2),y_(3)`, we get `[x_(2)] = [(-1, 4,5)][[z_(1)-z_(2)+z_(3)],[0+z_(2)+3z_(3)],[2z_(1)+z_(2)+0]]` ` = [(-1, 4,5)][[1,-1,1],[0,1,3],[2,1,0]][[z_(1)],[z_(2)],[z_(3)]]` ` = [(-1+0+10, 1+4+5,-1+12+0)][[z_(1)],[z_(2)],[z_(3)]]` ` = [(9,10,11)][[z_(1)],[z_(2)],[z_(3)]]=[9z_(1)+10z_(2)+11z_(3)]` Hence, `x_(2)=9z_(1)=10z_(2)+11z_(3)`...(ii) Further, `X_(3) = y_(1)-y_(2)+2y_(3)` therefore[x_(3)] = [(1,-1 ,3)][[y_(1)],[y_(2)],[y_(3)]] Putting the values of`y_(1), y_(2), y_(3)` we get `rArr [x_(3)] = [(1, -1,3)][[z_(1)-z_(2)+z_(3)],[0+z_(2)+3z_(3)],[2z_(1)+z_(2)+0]]` `= [(1,-1,3)][[1,-1,1],[0,1,3],[2,1,0]][[z_(1)],[z_(2)],[z_(3)]]` `= [(1-0+6,-1-1+3,1-3+0)][[z_(1)],[z_(2)],[z_(3)]]` `= [(7,1,-2)][[z_(1)],[z_(2)],[z_(3)]]=[7z_(1)+z_(2)-2z_(3)]` `therefore x_(3) = 7z_(1)+z_(2)-2z_(3)`...(iii) Hence , from Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii) we get `x_(1) =z_(1) - 2z_(2) + 9 z_(3) , x_(2) = 9z_(1)+10z_(2) + 11z_(3), x_(3)=7z_(1)+z_(2)-2z_(3)` |

Realising he needs money, Tintin reaches inside the bank situated on the island, and sees a row of lockers which start with 0 and go on till infinity. A locker can contain any number of coins. A coin is placed in the locker with index 7 (i.e. the 8th square). The aim is to move this coin to the locker with index 1. (i.e. the 2nd square) and all other squares empty. There are two rules to this: 1) Fission Rule: A coin may be replaced by a pair of coins by placing one in each of the immediately adjacent squares. Eg.Coin #3 can be replaced by Coin#2 and Coin#4 where Coin#(number) rep- resents coin in position with index number. 2) Fusion Rule: A pair of coins separated by exactly one intervening square can be replaced by a single coin in that middle square. Eg.Coin#2 and Coin#4 can be replaced by Coin#3. Minimum number of moves required to achieve our aim ? |
