1. The recurrence equation T(1) = 1 and T(n) = 2T(n – 1) + n (n

≥2) evaluates to

a) 2n+1 – n – 1

b) 2n – n

c) 2n+1 – 2n – 2

d) 2n + n

Answer: (a)

Solution:

Given that T(n) = 2T(n – 1) + n …... (1)

Complementary function = C1.2n

Substituting in (1), we have (An + B) = 2{(A(n – 1) + B} + n

Comparision coefficient of n and constants

We get

A = –1 and B = 2

The solution is

T(n) = C1.2n – n – 2

Applying initial condition, we get C1 = 2
T(n) = 2n+1 – n – 2

2. In how many ways can b blue balls and r red balls be distributed

in n distinct boxes?

a) ( + −1)!( + −1)
( −1)! !( −1)! !

b) ( +( + )−1)!
( −1)!( −1)!( + )!

c) !
! !

1


d) ( +( + )−1)!
!( + −1)!

Answer: (a)

Solution:

Number of ways to distribute b similar balls in n distinct boxes

= C (n – 1 + b, b)

Similar,

Number of ways to distribute b similar balls in n distic boxes =

C (n – 1 + r, r)

By product rule, required number of ways = C (n – 1 + b, b).C(n

– 1 + r, r)

3. Consider the recurrence relation a1 = 8, an = 6n2 + 2n + an-1. Let
a99 = K x 104. The value of K is_____.

Answer: 198

Solution:

The recurrence relation is an-an-1 = 6n2 + 2n

Complementary function = C1
Let particuler solution = (An2 + BN + C)n

Where, A, B & C are undetermined coefficents

Substituting in the recurrence relation, and solving we get

A = 2, B = 4, and C = 2

The solution is An = C1 + 2n3 + 4n2 + 2n

Using the initial condition, we have
a1= 8 ⟹ 8 = C1 + 8
⟹ C1 = 0
A99 = 2{(993) + 2(992) + 99}

2


= 2{(100 − 1)3 + 2(100 − 1)2 + (100 – 1)}
=104 (198)
K = 198
4. The number of integers between 1 and 500 (both inclusive) that
are divisible by 3 or 5 or 7 is _____.
Answer: 271
Solution:

+n(5) + n (7) – n (3 Λ 5) – n(5 Λ 7) – n(3 Λ 7) + n(3 Λ 5 Λ 7)

= �5300� + �5500� + �5700� − �51050� − �53050� − �52010� + �510005�
= 166 + 100 + 71 – 33 – 14 – 23 +4 = 271
