| Prove that the ten′s digit of any power of 3 is even. [e.g. the ten′s digit of 3^6 = 729 is 2]. |
| Prove that 1 < (1/(1001)) + (1/(1002)) + (1/(1003)) + ... + (1/(3001)) < 1(1/3). |
| Prove that n^4 + 4^n is composite for all integer values of n greater than 1. |
| Let a,b∈Z 0<a<b How would you find the maximum/ largest prime gap in (a, b)? Note: Prime gaps are the distance between consecutive primes. e.g. 7 and 11 has a prime gap 4 p_k ∈P ∴∀p_x ∀p_(x+1) ∈(a,b):p_(x+1) >p_x p_(x+1) and p_x are consecutive primes Lets denote δ_x =p_(x+1) −p_x as prime gap for (1, 20), the primes are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17 The prime gaps are: 1,2,2,4,2,4 Therefore the largest δ = 4 Is there a more general method? |
| A censusman on duty visited a house which the lady inmates declined to reveal their individual ages, but said − “we do not mind giving you the sum of the ages of any two ladies you may choose”. Thereupon the censusman said − “In that case please give me the sum of the ages of every possible pair of you”. The gave the sums as follows : 30, 33, 41, 58, 66, 69. The censusman took these figures and happily went away. How did he calculate the individual ages of the ladies from these figures? |
