11230.A permutation is often represented by the cycles it has. For example, if we permute the numbers in the natural order to 2 3 1 5 4, this is represented as (1 3 2) (5 4). In this the (132) says that the first number has gone to the position 3, the third number has gone to the position 2, and the second number has gone to position 1, and (5 4) means that the fifth number has gone to position 4 and the fourth number has gone to position 5. The numbers with brackets are to be read cyclically. If a number has not changed position, it is kept as a single cycle. Thus 5 2 1 3 4 is represented as (1345)(2). We may apply permutations on itself If we apply the permutation (132)(54) once, we get 2 3 1 5 4. If we apply it again, we get 3 1 2 4 5 , or (1 2 3)(4) (5) If we consider the permutation of 7 numbers (1457)(263), what is its order (how many times must it be applied before the numbers appear in their original order)?

11233.In Goa beach, there are three small picnic tables. Tables 1 and 2 each seat three people. Table 3 seats only one person, since two of its seats are broken. Akash, Babu, Chitra, David, Eesha, Farooq, and Govind all sit at seats at these picnic tables. Who sits with whom and at which table are determined by the following constraints:1. Chitra does not sit at the same table as Govind.2. Eesha does not sit at the same table as David.3. Farooq does not sit at the same table as Chitra.4. Akash does not sit at the same table as Babu.5. Govind does not sit at the same table as Farooq.Which of the following is a list of people who could sit together at table 2?
Govind, Eesha, Akash
Babu, Farooq, Chitra
Chitra, Govind, David.
Farooq, David, Eesha.
11234.There are a number of chocolates in a bag. If they were to be equally divided among 14 children, there are 10 chocolates left. If they were to be equally divided among 15 children, there are 8 chocolates left. Obviously, this can be satisfied if any multiple of 210 chocolates are added to the bag.

BDAI
ABDI
DABI
CIDA
Explanation:

This problem is based on Base 26 rather than regular base 10 (decimal system) that we normally use. In base 10 there are 10 digits 0 to 9 exist. In base 26 there are 26 digits 0 to 25 exist. To convert any number into base 26, we have to divide the number with 26 and find the remainder.
Here, ONE + ONE =
E has value of 4. So E + E = 8 which is equal to I.
Now N + N = 13 + 13 = 26. But in base 26, there is no 26. So
$(26)_{10}=(10)_{26}$

So we put 0 and 1 carry over. But 0 in this system is A.
Now O + O + 1 = 14 + 14 + 1 = 29

Therefore,
$(29)_{10}=$(13)_{26}
But 1 = B and 3 = D in that system. So ONE + ONE = BDAI
42408.Find the number of perfect squares in the given series 2013, 2020, 2027,................, 2300 (Hint 44^2=1936)
1

3
Cant be determined
Explanation:

The given series is an AP with common difference of 7. So the terms in the above series are in the form of 2013 + 7k. We have to find the perfect squares in this format in the given series.
Given that 44^2 = 1936.
Shortcut: To find the next perfect square, add 45th odd number to 44^2.
So 45^2 = 1936 + (2 x 45 -1) = 2025
46^2 = 2025 + (2 x 46 - 1) = 2116
47^2 = 2116 + (2 x 47 - 1) = 2209
Now subtract 2013 from the above numbers and divide by 7. Only 2209 is in the format of 2013 + 7k. One number satisfies.
42409.What is in the 200th position of 1234 12344 123444 1234444....?
3

5
7
Explanation:

The given series is 1234, 12344, 123444, 1234444, .....
So the number of digits in each term are 4, 5, 6, ... or (3 + 1), (3 + 2), (3 + 3), .....upto n terms =$3n+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$
So $3n+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ <=200

For n = 16, We get 184 in the left hand side. So after 16 terms the number of digits equal to 184. And 16 them contains 16 + 3 = 19 digits.
Now 17 term contains 20 digits and 123444......4(17times) So last digit is 4 and last two digits are 44.
