e.none of these Q10. Three labeled boxes containing black and white cricket balls are all mislabeled. It is known that one of the boxes contains only white balls and other only black balls. The third contains a mixture of black and white balls. You are required to correctly label the boxes with the labels black, white and white by picking a sample of 1 ball from only 1 box. What is the label on the box you should sample? 1]White
2] Black
3] Black and white
4] Not possible determine from a sample of 1 ball Q11. Two gamblers take turns rolling a fair N-sided die, with N at least 5. The faces of the die are labeled with the numbers 1 to N. The first player starts. If he rolls an N or an N-1, he wins and the game is over. Otherwise, the other player rolls the die; if she rolls a 1, 2, or 3, she wins and the game is over. Play continues, with the players alternating rolls until one of them wins. What is the probability that the first player will win? Are there any values of N for which the first player has at least an even chance of winning? Q12. How many ways can 90316 be written as a + 2 b + 4 c + 8 d + 16 e + 32 f where the coefficients can be any of 0, 1, or 2? Q13. Consecutive fifth powers (or, indeed, any powers) of positive integers are always relatively prime. That is, for all n > 0, n5 and (n + 1)5 are relatively prime. Are n5 + 5 and (n + 1)5 + 5 always relatively prime? If not, for what values of n do they have a common factor, and what is that factor? ANS: n ⁵ + 5 and (n + 1)⁵ + 5 are relatively prime only if n ≠ 533360 (mod 1968751). If n ≠ 533360 (mod 1968751), their greatest common divisor is 1968751. Q14. For the product n(n + 1) (2n + 1), n is an integer, which one of the following is necessarily false? (1)It is always even
(2)Divisible by 3.
(3)Always divisible by the sum of the square of first n natural numbers
(4)Never divisible by 237. Q15. END
