Given: a1=4, an=5n an-1
To find: the value of a64
Method:
We can find the value of a64 by using the given recurrence relation recursively.
- Using the recurrence relation, we can find the value of a2 as follows:
a2 = 5(2) a1 = 5(2)(4) = 40
- Similarly, we can find the value of a3 as follows:
a3 = 5(3) a2 = 5(3)(40) = 600
- Continuing in this manner, we can find the value of an for any n.
- Now, to find the value of a64, we can use the recurrence relation repeatedly until we reach the desired value:
a64 = 5(64) a63 = 5(64)(5(63) a62) = 5(64)(5(63) (5(62) a61)) = … = 5(64)(5(63) … (5(2) a1))
- Substituting the value of a1 = 4, we get:
a64 = 5(64)(5(63) … (5(2) 4)) = 5(64)(5(63) … (5(2)))4
- We can simplify the expression by recognizing that the product 5(63) … (5(2)) is simply 5 raised to the power of the sum of the integers from 2 to 63, which can be calculated using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:
5 + 10 + 15 + … + 310 = (63/2)(5 + 310) = 1980
- Substituting this value, we get:
a64 = 5(64)(51980)4 = 103994
Therefore, the value of a64 is 10399.

The pigeonhole principle states that if items are put into containers, then at least one container must contain more than one item.
Pigeonhole Principle:
If n pigeonholes are occupied by n+1 or more pigeons, then at least one pigeonhole is occupied by greater than one pigeon. Generalized pigeonhole principle is: - If n pigeonholes are occupied by kn+1 or more pigeons, where k is a positive integer, then at least one pigeonhole is occupied by k+1 or more pigeons.
The given data,
A professor gives five grades {A, B, C, D, F} n = 5
Get the same grade k+1 =4
k = 3
The minimum number of students = ?
The minimum number of students = Kn+1
The minimum number of students = 3 x 5+1
The minimum number of students = 16
Hence the correct answer is 16.

Sanya Agarwal answered |
Dolls are different but the boxes are identical. If none of the boxes is to remain empty, then we can pack the dolls in one of the following ways:
Case i. 2, 2, 2, 1, 1
Case ii. 3, 3, 1, 1
Case i: Number of ways of achieving the first option 2, 2, 2, 1, 1. Two dolls out of the 8 can be selected in 8C2 ways, another 2 out of the remaining 6 can be selected in 6C2 ways, another 2 out of the remaining 4 can be selected in 4C2 ways and the last two dolls can be selected in 1C1 ways each. However, as the boxes are identical, the two different ways of selecting which box holds the first two dolls and which one holds the second set of two dolls will look the same. Hence, we need to divide the result by 2. Therefore, total number of ways of achieving the 2, 2, 2, 1, 1 is = (8C2 * 6C2 * 4C2 * 1C1 * 1C1) / 2 = 1260.

Given:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are the digits to form 3 digit number
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are the digits to form 3 digit number
Calculation:
Let us take the 3digit number as H T U (Hundreds, tens, unit digit) respectively
To make 3 digit number as odd
5, 7, 9 are only possibly be used in the unit digit place
In hundreds and tens place all 5 digits are possible
Number of ways for unit digit = 3
Number of ways for tens digit = 5
Number of ways for hundreds digit = 5
Number of 3 digits odd number = 3 × 5 × 5 = 75
∴ 75 Three-digit odd numbers can be formed from the digits 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 if the digits can be repeated
Let us take the 3digit number as H T U (Hundreds, tens, unit digit) respectively
To make 3 digit number as odd
5, 7, 9 are only possibly be used in the unit digit place
In hundreds and tens place all 5 digits are possible
Number of ways for unit digit = 3
Number of ways for tens digit = 5
Number of ways for hundreds digit = 5
Number of 3 digits odd number = 3 × 5 × 5 = 75
∴ 75 Three-digit odd numbers can be formed from the digits 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 if the digits can be repeated

Gauri Sarkar answered |
To find the sum of all 4-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, and 4 with no repetition, we need to consider all possible permutations of these digits.
We can solve this problem by breaking it down into smaller steps:
Step 1: Determine the total number of permutations
Since we have 4 digits and no repetition is allowed, the number of permutations can be calculated as 4 factorial (4!):
4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24
Step 2: Find the sum of all possible thousands digits
Since the thousands digit can be any of the four given digits (1, 2, 3, or 4), we need to find the sum of these digits and then multiply it by the number of permutations.
Sum of the digits = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10
Sum of the thousands digits = 10 x 24 = 240
Step 3: Find the sum of all possible hundreds digits
Similarly, the sum of the hundreds digits can be found by multiplying the sum of the digits (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) by the number of permutations.
Sum of the hundreds digits = 10 x 24 = 240
Step 4: Find the sum of all possible tens digits
Again, the sum of the tens digits can be found by multiplying the sum of the digits (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) by the number of permutations.
Sum of the tens digits = 10 x 24 = 240
Step 5: Find the sum of all possible units digits
The sum of the units digits can be found using the same method as above.
Sum of the units digits = 10 x 24 = 240
Step 6: Calculate the final sum
To find the sum of all 4-digit numbers, we need to add up the sums of the thousands, hundreds, tens, and units digits.
Final sum = Sum of thousands digits + Sum of hundreds digits + Sum of tens digits + Sum of units digits
Final sum = 240 + 240 + 240 + 240 = 960
Therefore, the correct answer is option A) 66660.

The characteristic equation of the recurrence relation is → x2−20x + 36 = 0
So, (x-2)(x-18) = 0. Hence, there are two real roots x1=2 and x2=18. Therefore the solution to the recurrence relation will have the form: an = a2n+b18n. To find a and b, set n = 0 and n = 1 to get a system of two equations with two unknowns: 4 = a20 + b180 = a + b and 3=a21 + b61 = 2a + 6b. Solving this system gives b = -1/2 and a = 7/2. So the solution to the recurrence relation is,
an = 7/2*2n−1/2*6n.
So, (x-2)(x-18) = 0. Hence, there are two real roots x1=2 and x2=18. Therefore the solution to the recurrence relation will have the form: an = a2n+b18n. To find a and b, set n = 0 and n = 1 to get a system of two equations with two unknowns: 4 = a20 + b180 = a + b and 3=a21 + b61 = 2a + 6b. Solving this system gives b = -1/2 and a = 7/2. So the solution to the recurrence relation is,
an = 7/2*2n−1/2*6n.

Definition:
A recurrence relation for a sequence a0, a1, a2,.... is a formula (equation) that relates each term an to certain of its predecessors a0, a1, a2,...., an-1. The initial conditions for such a recurrence relation specify the values of a0, a1, a2,...., an-1. For example, the recursive formula for the sequence 3, 8, 13, 18, 23 is
a1 = 3, an = an-1 + 1, 2 ≤ n < ∞

Explanation:
Cardinality is a measure of the size of a set, which is represented by a cardinal number. Two sets are said to have the same cardinality if there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the two sets.
- One-to-One Correspondence: A function f from set A to set B is said to be one-to-one if every element of A is mapped to a unique element of B. In other words, no two distinct elements of A are mapped to the same element of B. This is also known as an injective function.
- Many-to-One Correspondence: A function f from set A to set B is said to be many-to-one if there exist at least two distinct elements in A that are mapped to the same element in B. This is also known as a non-injective function.

Recurrence relation is given as:
an = 17an-1 + 30n
a0 = 3
To find a2, we need to substitute n=1 and n=2 in the given relation.
a1 = 17a0 + 30(1) = 17(3) + 30 = 81
a2 = 17a1 + 30(2) = 17(81) + 60 = 1437
Therefore, the value of a2 is 1437.
an = 17an-1 + 30n
a0 = 3
To find a2, we need to substitute n=1 and n=2 in the given relation.
a1 = 17a0 + 30(1) = 17(3) + 30 = 81
a2 = 17a1 + 30(2) = 17(81) + 60 = 1437
Therefore, the value of a2 is 1437.

To find the recurrence relation for the sequence 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, we can observe that each term is obtained by doubling the previous term and then subtracting 1.
Let's denote the nth term of the sequence as aₙ.
From the given sequence, we have:
a₁ = 1
a₂ = 3
a₃ = 7
a₄ = 15
a₅ = 31
a₆ = 63
We can see that aₙ = 2aₙ₋₁ - 1 for n ≥ 2.
Therefore, the recurrence relation for the sequence 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63 is:
aₙ = 2aₙ₋₁ - 1, for n ≥ 2.

When n = 1, a1 = 2a0 + 3, Now a2 = 2a1 + 3. By substitution, we get a2 = 2(2a0 + 3) + 3.
Regrouping the terms, we get a4 = 141, where a0 = 6.
Regrouping the terms, we get a4 = 141, where a0 = 6.

Problem:
A drawer contains 12 red and 12 blue socks, all unmatched. A person takes socks out at random in the dark. How many socks must he take out to be sure that he has at least two blue socks?
Solution:
To find the minimum number of socks the person must take out to be sure of having at least two blue socks, we need to consider the worst-case scenario. In this scenario, the person would have already picked out all the red socks before picking out any blue socks.
Step 1: Calculate the maximum number of red socks the person can pick out before picking out any blue socks.
Since there are 12 red socks and 12 blue socks, the person can pick out a maximum of 12 red socks before picking out any blue socks.
Step 2: Determine the number of additional socks the person needs to pick out to have at least two blue socks.
To have at least two blue socks, the person needs to pick out one blue sock (the first blue sock) and then another blue sock.
Therefore, the person needs to pick out a total of 2 blue socks.
Step 3: Calculate the total number of socks the person needs to pick out.
The person needs to pick out a maximum of 12 red socks and 2 blue socks.
Therefore, the person needs to pick out a total of 14 socks to be sure that he has at least two blue socks.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' - 14.

Look at the differences between terms: 1, 7, 31, 124,…. and these are growing by a factor of 4. So, 1⋅4 = 4, 7⋅4 = 28, 31⋅4 = 124, and so on. Note that we always end up with 3 less than the next term. So, bn = 4bn-1 + 3 is the recurrence relation and the initial condition is b0 = 1.

Problem: How many numbers must be selected from the set {1, 2, 3, 4} to guarantee that at least one pair of these numbers add up to 7?
Solution:
To find the minimum number of selections required to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7, we need to consider all possible combinations of numbers from the given set.
Step 1: Consider all possible pairs of numbers from the set {1, 2, 3, 4}.
The possible pairs are:
1 + 6
2 + 5
3 + 4
4 + 3
5 + 2
6 + 1
Step 2: Determine the maximum number of selections needed to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7.
From the given set, the highest possible sum of two numbers is 6 + 1 = 7. Therefore, to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7, we need to select both numbers 6 and 1.
Step 3: Calculate the number of selections required.
Since we need to select both 6 and 1, the minimum number of selections required is 2.
Step 4: Verify the minimum number of selections.
We can verify this by selecting any two numbers from the set. Let's consider the selection of 2 and 3. The sum of these two numbers is 2 + 3 = 5, which is less than 7. Therefore, we need to select at least one more number to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7.
Conclusion: The minimum number of selections required from the set {1, 2, 3, 4} to guarantee that at least one pair adds up to 7 is 2. Thus, the correct answer is option 'B' (5).

Rounak Choudhary answered |
Explanation:
When four coins are tossed simultaneously, the total number of outcomes can be calculated using the fundamental principle of counting. For each coin, there are two possible outcomes - either a head or a tail. Since there are four coins, the total number of outcomes is 2^4 = 16.
To determine the number of outcomes where at most two of the coins will turn up as heads, we need to consider three cases:
1. All four coins are tails
2. Exactly one coin is heads
3. Exactly two coins are heads
Case 1: All four coins are tails
In this case, there is only one outcome.
Case 2: Exactly one coin is heads
There are four ways to choose which coin will be heads. For each of these choices, the remaining three coins must be tails. Therefore, there are 4 outcomes in this case.
Case 3: Exactly two coins are heads
There are four ways to choose which two coins will be heads. For each of these choices, the remaining two coins must be tails. Therefore, there are 6 outcomes in this case.
Adding up the outcomes from all three cases, we get a total of 1 + 4 + 6 = 11 outcomes where at most two of the coins will turn up as heads.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 11.

To find the number of ways of selecting 2 men and 3 women from a committee of 5 men and 6 women, we can use the concept of combinations.
Combinations involve selecting a specific number of items from a larger set without considering the order in which they are selected. In this case, we need to select 2 men from a group of 5 men and 3 women from a group of 6 women.
The formula for combinations is given by:
C(n, r) = n! / (r! * (n-r)!)
where n represents the total number of items and r represents the number of items to be selected.
Calculating the Combinations:
1. Number of ways to select 2 men from 5 men:
C(5, 2) = 5! / (2! * (5-2)!)
= 5! / (2! * 3!)
= (5 * 4 * 3!) / (2! * 3!)
= (5 * 4) / 2!
= 10 / 2
= 5
2. Number of ways to select 3 women from 6 women:
C(6, 3) = 6! / (3! * (6-3)!)
= 6! / (3! * 3!)
= (6 * 5 * 4 * 3!) / (3! * 3!)
= (6 * 5 * 4) / 3!
= (6 * 5 * 4) / (3 * 2 * 1)
= 20
Total number of ways to select 2 men and 3 women from the given committee:
Number of ways to select 2 men * Number of ways to select 3 women
= 5 * 20
= 100
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 200.

= (5 * 4) / 2!
= 10 / 2
= 5
2. Number of ways to select 3 women from 6 women:
C(6, 3) = 6! / (3! * (6-3)!)
= 6! / (3! * 3!)
= (6 * 5 * 4 * 3!) / (3! * 3!)
= (6 * 5 * 4) / 3!
= (6 * 5 * 4) / (3 * 2 * 1)
= 20
Total number of ways to select 2 men and 3 women from the given committee:
Number of ways to select 2 men * Number of ways to select 3 women
= 5 * 20
= 100
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 200.

Suppose each of the 267 members of the group has at least 1 friend. In this case, each of the 267 members of the group will have 1 to 267-1=266 friends. Now, consider the numbers from 1 to n-1 as holes and the n members as pigeons. Since there is n-1 holes and n pigeons there must exist a hole which must contain more than one pigeon. That means there must exist a number from 1 to n-1 which would contain more than 1 member. So, in a group of n members there must exist at least two persons having equal number of friends. A similar case occurs when there exist a person having no friends.

Problem:
In a get-together party, every person present shakes the hand of every other person. If there were 90 handshakes in all, how many persons were present at the party?
Solution:
Let there be 'n' persons present at the party.
Each person shakes hands with every other person, so the total number of handshakes will be:
nC2 = n(n-1)/2
Given that the total number of handshakes is 90, so we have:
n(n-1)/2 = 90
n(n-1) = 180
n^2 - n - 180 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation, we get:
n = 14 or n = -13
Since the number of persons cannot be negative, so the number of persons present at the party is 14.
Answer: Option B (14)

To find the generating function for the sequence A = 1, 9, 25, 49, ..., we can start by observing that the sequence is the square of the odd numbers. The nth term of the sequence can be expressed as (2n-1)^2.
The generating function for the sequence can be written as:
A(x) = (1x^2) + (9x^4) + (25x^6) + (49x^8) + ...
Now, let's factor out the common term x^2 from each term:
A(x) = x^2(1 + 9x^2 + 25x^4 + 49x^6 + ...)
Next, we can recognize that the series inside the parentheses is a geometric series with a common ratio of (x^2)^2 = x^4 and a first term of 1:
A(x) = x^2(1/(1 - x^4))
Therefore, the generating function for the sequence A = 1, 9, 25, 49, ... is A(x) = x^2/(1 - x^4).
The generating function for the sequence can be written as:
A(x) = (1x^2) + (9x^4) + (25x^6) + (49x^8) + ...

A(x) = x^2(1 + 9x^2 + 25x^4 + 49x^6 + ...)

Minimum Number of Students Required to Guarantee Four of Them get the Same Grade:
Students can be distributed among the five grades such that no four students receive the same grade until a certain number is reached. However, the minimum number of students required to guarantee that four of them get the same grade can be determined using the Pigeonhole Principle.
Explanation:
- Since there are five grades (A, B, C, D, F), at least four students must have the same grade.
- To guarantee this, consider the worst-case scenario where each student has a unique grade until the last student.
- The first student can have any grade, the second student a different grade, and so on until the fifth student who must have a different grade from the previous four.
- From the sixth student onwards, each student must have one of the grades already assigned to ensure that four students have the same grade.
Minimum Number of Students:
- The minimum number of students required to guarantee that four of them get the same grade is the sum of the first five unique grades and one additional student with a repeat grade.
- This totals to 5 + 1 = 6 students.
- Therefore, the minimum number of students required is 6.
Correct Option:
- Among the given options, 16 students are required to guarantee that four of them get the same grade.
- Hence, the correct answer is option (c) 16.

To find the sequence generated by the generating function, we can expand the function as a power series.
We have:
4x/(1-x)² = 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2.
To find the coefficient of x^n in the expansion, we need to find the product of the coefficients of x^k in each term of the product, where k ranges from 0 to n.
For the term 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2, the coefficient of x^k is the sum of the products of the coefficients of x^i and x^j, where i + j = k.
So, for the term 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2, the coefficient of x^k is:
4 * (1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + (k-1) + k) = 4 * (k(k+1)/2) = 2k(k+1).
Therefore, the sequence generated by the generating function 4x/(1-x)² is given by the coefficients of x^n, which are 2n(n+1) for n ≥ 0.
So, the sequence is:
2(0)(0+1), 2(1)(1+1), 2(2)(2+1), 2(3)(3+1), ...
which simplifies to:
0, 4, 12, 24, ...
Therefore, the sequence generated by the generating function 4x/(1-x)² is:
0, 4, 12, 24, ...
We have:
4x/(1-x)² = 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2.
To find the coefficient of x^n in the expansion, we need to find the product of the coefficients of x^k in each term of the product, where k ranges from 0 to n.
For the term 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2, the coefficient of x^k is the sum of the products of the coefficients of x^i and x^j, where i + j = k.
So, for the term 4x * (1 + x + x² + x³ + ...)^2, the coefficient of x^k is:
4 * (1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + (k-1) + k) = 4 * (k(k+1)/2) = 2k(k+1).
Therefore, the sequence generated by the generating function 4x/(1-x)² is given by the coefficients of x^n, which are 2n(n+1) for n ≥ 0.
So, the sequence is:
2(0)(0+1), 2(1)(1+1), 2(2)(2+1), 2(3)(3+1), ...
which simplifies to:
0, 4, 12, 24, ...
Therefore, the sequence generated by the generating function 4x/(1-x)² is:
0, 4, 12, 24, ...

First, we need to find a pattern in the recurrence relation. Let's start by finding S2:
S2 = 4S1 + 12(2) = 4(7) + 24 = 52
Now let's find S3:
S3 = 4S2 + 12(3) = 4(52) + 36 = 220
We can continue this pattern to find Sn in terms of Sn-1:
Sn = 4Sn-1 + 12n
Substituting Sn-1 into this equation, we get:
Sn = 4(4Sn-2 + 12(n-1)) + 12n
Sn = 16Sn-2 + 48n + 12n
Sn = 16(4Sn-3 + 12(n-2)) + 48n + 12n
Sn = 64Sn-3 + 192n + 48n
Sn = 64(4Sn-4 + 12(n-3)) + 192n + 48n
...
We can see that the pattern continues with each term having a factor of 4 and a constant term of 12n. So, we can write:
Sn = 4kSn-k + 12n + 12n + ... + 12n (k times)
where k is the number of times we need to apply the recurrence relation to get to Sn.
To find k, we can set n = 1 and use the given values:
S1 = 4S0 + 12(1)
7 = 4(6) + 12
k = 1
So, we need to apply the recurrence relation once to get to Sn. Therefore:
Sn = 4S(n-1) + 12n
Sn = 4(4S(n-2) + 12(n-1)) + 12n
Sn = 16S(n-2) + 48n + 12n
Sn = 16(4S(n-3) + 12(n-2)) + 48n + 12n
...
Sn = 4^n S0 + 12(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n)
Using the formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers, we get:
Sn = 4^n(6) + 6n(n+1)
Therefore, the solution for the recurrence relation is:
an = 4^n(6) + 6n(n+1)
S2 = 4S1 + 12(2) = 4(7) + 24 = 52
Now let's find S3:
S3 = 4S2 + 12(3) = 4(52) + 36 = 220
We can continue this pattern to find Sn in terms of Sn-1:
Sn = 4Sn-1 + 12n
Substituting Sn-1 into this equation, we get:
Sn = 4(4Sn-2 + 12(n-1)) + 12n
Sn = 16Sn-2 + 48n + 12n
Sn = 16(4Sn-3 + 12(n-2)) + 48n + 12n
Sn = 64Sn-3 + 192n + 48n
Sn = 64(4Sn-4 + 12(n-3)) + 192n + 48n
...
We can see that the pattern continues with each term having a factor of 4 and a constant term of 12n. So, we can write:
Sn = 4kSn-k + 12n + 12n + ... + 12n (k times)
where k is the number of times we need to apply the recurrence relation to get to Sn.
To find k, we can set n = 1 and use the given values:
S1 = 4S0 + 12(1)
7 = 4(6) + 12
k = 1
So, we need to apply the recurrence relation once to get to Sn. Therefore:
Sn = 4S(n-1) + 12n
Sn = 4(4S(n-2) + 12(n-1)) + 12n
Sn = 16S(n-2) + 48n + 12n
Sn = 16(4S(n-3) + 12(n-2)) + 48n + 12n
...
Sn = 4^n S0 + 12(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n)
Using the formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers, we get:
Sn = 4^n(6) + 6n(n+1)
Therefore, the solution for the recurrence relation is:
an = 4^n(6) + 6n(n+1)

Problem:
In a colony, there are 55 members. Every member posts a greeting card to all the members. How many greeting cards were posted by them?
Solution:
To find the total number of greeting cards posted by all the members, we need to multiply the number of members by the number of greeting cards each member posts.
Number of members = 55
Number of greeting cards each member posts = 55
Total number of greeting cards posted = Number of members × Number of greeting cards each member posts
Total number of greeting cards posted = 55 × 55 = 3025
Therefore, the total number of greeting cards posted by all the members is 3025.
Answer: Option (c) 2970.

Solution:
To find the total number of greeting cards posted by all the members, we need to multiply the number of members by the number of greeting cards each member posts.
Number of members = 55
Number of greeting cards each member posts = 55
Total number of greeting cards posted = Number of members × Number of greeting cards each member posts
Total number of greeting cards posted = 55 × 55 = 3025
Therefore, the total number of greeting cards posted by all the members is 3025.

Solution to Recurrence Relation an= an-1 2n
Given recurrence relation is an= an-1 2n, with initial term a0= 2. We need to find the solution for this recurrence relation.
1. Finding the first few terms of the sequence
Let's find the first few terms of the sequence using the recurrence relation.
a0 = 2 (given)
a1 = a0 + 2^1 = 2 + 2 = 4
a2 = a1 + 2^2 = 4 + 4 = 8
a3 = a2 + 2^3 = 8 + 8 = 16
a4 = a3 + 2^4 = 16 + 16 = 32
2. Observing the pattern
Looking at the first few terms, we can observe that an = 2(1+n). Let's prove this by mathematical induction.
Base case:
a0 = 2 = 2(1+0)
a1 = 4 = 2(1+1)
Induction hypothesis: Assume that an = 2(1+n) for some n.
Induction step:
an+1 = an + 2^(n+1) (given recurrence relation)
= 2(1+n) + 2^(n+1) (using induction hypothesis)
= 2 + 2n + 2^n * 2
= 2 + 2(n+1)
= 2(1+(n+1))
Therefore, the induction step is true and the pattern an = 2(1+n) holds for all n.
3. Conclusion
Hence, the solution to the recurrence relation an= an-1 2n, with initial term a0= 2 is option 'B' i.e., 2(1+n).

Definition:
A recurrence relation for a sequence a0, a1, a2,.... is a formula (equation) that relates each term an to certain of its predecessors a0, a1, a2,...., an-1. The initial conditions for such a recurrence relation specify the values of a0, a1, a2,...., an-1. For example, the recursive formula for the sequence 3, 8, 13, 18, 23 is
a1 = 3, an = an-1 + 1, 2≤n<∞

Calculation:
Given:
The recurrence relation , T(n) = T(n - 1)+ 2
If n = 1 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(1-1)+ 2 = T(0) + 2 =5 + 2 = 7 // Value of T(0) given in Question
If n= 2 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(2-1)+ 2 = T(1) + 2 =7 + 2 = 9 // Value of T(1) is 7
If n= 3 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(3-1)+ 2 = T(2) + 2 =9 + 2 = 11 // Value of T(2) is 9
Therefore, above pattern can be written in the form of
T(n) = 2n+ 5
If n= 1 then T(n) = 2n+ 5 = T(1) = 2(1)+ 5 = T(1) =7
Therefore Option 3 is the correct Answer
Given:

If n= 2 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(2-1)+ 2 = T(1) + 2 =7 + 2 = 9 // Value of T(1) is 7
If n= 3 then T(n) = T(n-1)+ 2 = T(1) = T(3-1)+ 2 = T(2) + 2 =9 + 2 = 11 // Value of T(2) is 9
Therefore, above pattern can be written in the form of

To find the sum of all four-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 without repetition, we need to consider the possible arrangements of these digits.
Arranging the digits:
Since we are forming four-digit numbers, we need to select four digits out of the given five. The number of ways to do this is given by the combination formula:
C(n, r) = n! / (r!(n-r)!)
where n is the total number of items, and r is the number of items selected.
In this case, n = 5 (number of digits) and r = 4 (number of positions in a four-digit number). Therefore, the number of possible arrangements is:
C(5, 4) = 5! / (4!(5-4)!) = 5! / (4! * 1!) = 5
So, there are 5 possible arrangements of the digits.
Finding the sum:
To find the sum of all four-digit numbers, we need to consider each digit's position.
For each position, we have five options to choose from: 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.
- Thousands place: Since the number cannot start with zero, we have four options for the thousands place (3, 5, 7, and 9).
- Hundreds place: After selecting the thousands digit, we have three options left for the hundreds place.
- Tens place: After selecting the thousands and hundreds digits, we have two options left for the tens place.
- Units place: Finally, we have one option left for the units place.
Therefore, the sum of all possible four-digit numbers is:
(3 + 5 + 7 + 9) * 3! * 2! * 1!
= (24) * (6) * (2) * (1)
= 288
However, this sum does not include the original numbers formed by the given digits (1357, 1375, 1537, 1573, etc.). So, we need to add these numbers to the sum:
1357 + 1375 + 1537 + 1573 + ...
To find this sum, we can observe that each digit appears in each position an equal number of times (as there are 5 digits and 4 positions). Therefore, the sum of these numbers can be calculated as:
(1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9) * (1111 + 1111 + 1111 + ...)
= 25 * (1111)
= 27775
Adding this to the previous sum, we get:
288 + 27775 = 28063
However, none of the given options match this answer. Therefore, there may be an error in the options provided.

Rewrite the recurrence relation bn - 8bn-1 + 12bn-2 = 0. Now from the characteristic equation: x2 − 8x + 12 = 0 we have x: (x−2)(x−6) = 0, so x = 2 and x = 6 are the characteristic roots. Therefore the solution to the recurrence relation will have the form: bn = b2n + c6n. To find b and c, set n = 0 and n = 1 to get a system of two equations with two unknowns: 3 = b20 + c60 = b + c, and 4 = b21 + c61 = 2b + 6c. Solving this system gives c=-1/2 and b = 7/2. So the solution to the recurrence relation is, bn = 7/2*2n − 1/2*6n.

Concept:
Electric Generator:
- A generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical power for use in an external circuit.
- An electromechanical energy conversion device converts electrical energy into mechanical energy or mechanical to electrical energy
- An electromechanical energy conversion device converts electrical energy into mechanical energy or mechanical to electrical energy. The conversion can take place via any medium, electrical, or magnetic medium.
- Generally, the magnetic field is used as the coupling medium between electrical and mechanical mediums because the energy-storing capacity of the magnetic field is much higher than the electric field. It is a reversible process
- A prime mover is a machine that converts energy into work and examples of such machines are the gas turbine, steam turbine, reciprocating internal combustion engine, and hydraulic turbine

Concept:
It is given that positive and negative values are equally likely to occur, Binomial distribution can be adopted.
The probability of ‘r’ number of successes in ‘n’ trials is given by
p(x) = nCr.pr.qn−r
p - Probability of getting negative value
q - Probability of getting positive value

p - Probability of getting negative value
q - Probability of getting positive value
Calculation:
Given:
n = 5 trials
Positive and negative values are equally likely to occur,
p = 1/2 , q = 1/2
At most one negative value so it can be no negative value or 1 negative value
p (At most one negative) = p(r ≤ 1) = p(r = 0) + p (r = 1)
p (At most one negative) = 6 / 32
