It is given that there are exactly 41 numbers, which can be expressed as the power of two, and exist&nbsp;between&nbsp;$8^m$&nbsp;and&nbsp;$8^n$, (where m, and n are positive integers, and m &lt; n)Hence,&nbsp;$2^{3m}$&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;41&nbsp;numbers&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;$2^{3n}$Since, m is a positive integer, the least value of m is 1. Therefore,&nbsp;$2^{3m}$&nbsp;= $2^3$, hence, the 41 numbers between them are&nbsp;$2^4$,&nbsp;$2^5$,&nbsp;$2^6$, ..., $2^{44}$Then the lowest possible value of&nbsp;$8^n$&nbsp;is&nbsp;$2^{45}$. Hence, the smallest value of n is&nbsp;$2^{45}$&nbsp;=&nbsp;$8^n$&nbsp;=&gt;&nbsp;$2^{3n}$&nbsp;= $2^{45}$&nbsp;=&gt;&nbsp;n&nbsp;=&nbsp;15Hence, the smallest value of m+n is (15+1) = 16

It is given that&nbsp;for some real numbers a and b, the system of equations&nbsp;x+y=4 and&nbsp;(a + 5)x + ($b^2$ − 15)y= 8b has infinitely many solutions for x and y.Hence, we can say that&nbsp;=&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;$\frac{a + 5}{1}$ = $\frac{b^2 - 15}{1}$ = $\frac{8b}{4}$​This equation can be used to find the value of a, and b.Firstly,&nbsp;we will determine the value of b.&nbsp;=&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$\frac{b^2 - 15}{1}$ = $\frac{8b}{4}$​ =&gt; $b^2 - 2b - 15$ = 0=&gt; (b - 5)(b + 3) = 0Hence, the values of b are 5, and -3, respectively.&nbsp;The value of a can be expressed in terms of b, which is&nbsp;a + 5 = $b^2 − 15$&nbsp;=&gt;&nbsp;a&nbsp;= $b^2 − 20$When&nbsp;b=5, a = $5^2$ − 20 = 5When&nbsp;b=−3, a = $3^2$ − 20 = −11The maximum value of&nbsp;ab = (−3)⋅(−11) = 33

It is given that $ x^8 + \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^8 = 47 $, which can be written as:=&gt; $ \left(x^4\right)^2 + \left(\frac{1}{x^4}\right)^2 = 47 $=&gt; $ \left(x^4 + \frac{1}{x^4}\right)^2 - 2 \cdot x^4 \cdot \frac{1}{x^4} = 47 $=&gt; $ \left(x^4 + \frac{1}{x^4}\right)^2 = 49 $=&gt; $ x^4 + \frac{1}{x^4} = 7 $Similarly, $ x^4 + \frac{1}{x^4} = 7 $ can be expressed as:=&gt; $ \left(x^2\right)^2 + \left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)^2 = 7 $=&gt; $ \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2}\right)^2 - 2 \cdot x^2 \cdot \frac{1}{x^2} = 7 $=&gt; $ \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2}\right)^2 = 9 $=&gt; $ x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = 3 $By the same logic, we get $ x + \frac{1}{x} = \sqrt{5} $Now, $ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = \left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)^3 - 3 \cdot x \cdot \frac{1}{x}\left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right) $=&gt; $ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = \left(\sqrt{5}\right)^3 - 3\sqrt{5} = 2\sqrt{5} $By the same logic, we can say that=&gt; $ x^9 + \frac{1}{x^9} = \left(x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}\right)^3 - 3 \cdot x^3 \cdot \frac{1}{x^3}\left(x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}\right) $=&gt; $ x^9 + \frac{1}{x^9} = \left(2\sqrt{5}\right)^3 - 3\left(2\sqrt{5}\right) $=&gt; $ x^9 + \frac{1}{x^9} = 40\sqrt{5} - 6\sqrt{5} = 34\sqrt{5} $

It is given that $ x^2 + bx + c = 0 $ has two real roots. Let the roots of the equation be $ \alpha, \beta $. ($ \alpha$ &gt; $\beta $)Then, we can say that $ \frac{1}{\alpha} - \frac{1}{\beta} = \frac{1}{3} $ .... Eq(1)Similarly, $ \frac{1}{\alpha^2} + \frac{1}{\beta^2} = \frac{5}{9} $ .... Eq(2)Eq(2) can be written as $ \left(\frac{1}{\alpha} - \frac{1}{\beta}\right)^2 + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\alpha} \cdot \frac{1}{\beta} = \frac{5}{9} $=&gt; $ \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\alpha \cdot \beta} = \frac{5}{9} $=&gt; $ \frac{2}{\alpha \cdot \beta} = \frac{4}{9} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\alpha \cdot \beta} = \frac{2}{9} $=&gt; $ \alpha \cdot \beta = \frac{9}{2} $We know that the product of the roots is equal to c, which implies $ c = \frac{9}{2} $We also know that the sum of the roots is equal to -b.=&gt; $ \frac{1}{\alpha^2} + \frac{1}{\beta^2} = \left(\frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta}\right)^2 - \frac{2}{\alpha \beta} = \frac{5}{9} $=&gt; $ \left(\frac{\alpha + \beta}{\alpha \beta}\right)^2 - \frac{4}{9} = \frac{5}{9} $=&gt; $ \left(\frac{\alpha + \beta}{\alpha \beta}\right)^2 = (1)^2 $=&gt; $ \alpha + \beta = \pm \alpha \beta $Hence, the maximum value of b is $ \frac{9}{2} $.Hence, the maximum value of (b+c) is 9

We know that the number of factors of these two numbers is 15. We know that the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.The number of factors of N is&nbsp;(p+1)⋅(q+1)(Where,&nbsp;N = $a^p ⋅ b^q$,&nbsp;and a, b are prime numbers).Hence, the value of N will be least when (p+1) and (q+1) are as close as possible and a, and b are the least distinct prime numbers.Hence, p + 1 = 3 =&gt; p = 2, and q + 1 = 5 =&gt; q = 4, and the prime numbers a, and b are 2, and 3, respectively.Hence, the lowest value of N is&nbsp;N = $2^4$ ×&nbsp;$3^2$&nbsp;= $144$, and the second lowest value of N is&nbsp;N = $2^2$×&nbsp;$3^4$&nbsp;= 324Hence, the sum is (144 + 324) = 468

It is given that&nbsp;$5^{n−1}$ &lt; $3^{n+1}$, where n is a natural number. By inspection, we can say that the inequality holds when n = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.Now, we need to find the least integer value of m that satisfies&nbsp;$3^{n+1}$ &lt; $2^{n+m}$For, n =1, the least integer value of m is 3.For, n = 2, the least integer value of m is 3For, n = 3, the least integer value of m is 4.For, n = 4, the least integer value of m is 4.For, n = 5, the least integer value of m is 5.Hence, the least integer value of m such that for all the values of n, the equation holds is 5.3

Let the work done by&nbsp;Rahul, Rakshita, and Gurmeet be a, b, and c units per day, respectively, and the total units of work are W.Hence, we can say that 7(a+b+c) &lt; W ( Rahul, Rakshita, and Gurmeet, working together, would have taken more than 7 days to finish a job).Similarly, we can say that 15(a+c) &gt; W ( Rahul and Gurmeet, working together would have taken less than 15 days to finish the job)Now, comparing these two inequalities, we get: 7(a+b+c) &lt; W &lt; 15(a+c)It is also known that&nbsp;they all worked together for 6 days, followed by Rakshita, who worked alone for 3 more days to finish the job. Therefore, the total units of work done is: W = 6(a+b+c)+3bHence, we can say that&nbsp;7(a+b+c) &lt;&nbsp;6(a+b+c)+3b&nbsp;&lt; 15(a+c)Therefore, (a+b+c) &lt; 3b =&gt; a+c &lt; 2b, and 9b &lt; 9(a+c) =&gt; b &lt; a+c=&gt; a+b+c &lt; 3b =&gt; 7(a+b+c) &lt; 21b , and 15b &lt; 15(a+c)Hence, the number of days required for b must be in between 15 and 21 (both exclusive).Hence, the correct option is B

Let the volume of mixture A be 200 ml, which implies the quantity of cocoa in the mixture is 120 ml, and the quantity of sugar In the mixture 80 ml.Similarly, let the volume of the mixture be 300 ml, which implies the quantity of coffee, and sugar in the mixture is 210, and 90 ml, respectively.Now we combine mixture A, and B in the ratio of 2:3 (if 200 ml mixture A, then 300 ml of mixture B).Hence, the volume of the mixture C is (200+300) = 500 ml, and the quantity of the sugar is (90+80) = 170 ml.&nbsp;Now he mixes&nbsp;C with an equal amount of milk to make a drink, which implies the quantity of the final mixture is (500+500) = 1000 ml.The quantity of sugar in the final mixture is 170 ml.Hence, the percentage is 17%&nbsp;The correct option is A

It is given that the population of the town in 2020 was 100000. The population decreased by y% from the year 2020 to 2021 and increased by x% from the year 2021 to 2022, where x and y are two natural numbers.Hence, the population in 2021 is $ 100000 \left(\frac{100-y}{100}\right) $.The population in 2022 is $ 100000 \left(\frac{100-y}{100}\right)\left(\frac{100+x}{100}\right) $It is also given that the population in 2022 was greater than the population in 2020, and the difference between x and y is 10.Hence,$ 100000 \left(\frac{100-y}{100}\right)\left(\frac{100+x}{100}\right) \gt 100000 $, and (x-y) = 10=&gt; $ 100000 \left(\frac{100-y}{100}\right)\left(\frac{110+y}{100}\right) \gt 100000 $=&gt; $ \frac{100-y}{100} \left(\frac{110+y}{100}\right) \gt 1 $To get the minimum possible value of 2021, we need to increase the value of y as much as possible.Hence, $ (100-y)\{(100+y) + 10\} \gt 10000 $=&gt; $ 10000 - y^2 + 1000 - 10y \gt 10000 $=&gt; $ y^2 + 10y \lt 1000 $=&gt; $ y^2 + 10y + 25 \lt 1025 $=&gt; $ (y + 5)^2 = 1024 \lt 1025 $=&gt; $ (y + 5)^2 = 32^2 $=&gt; $ y = 27 $Hence, the population in 2021 is 100000*(100-27) = 73000

It is given that&nbsp;a&nbsp;merchant purchases a cloth at a rate of Rs.100 per meter and receives 5 cm length of cloth free for every 100 cm length of cloth purchased by him.Hence, the cost price of 105 cm clothes is 100 rupees.&nbsp;It is also known that he marked the price of 100 cm clothes as 110 rupees, and gave a 5% discount, and he cheated&nbsp;his customers by giving 95 cm length of cloth for every 100 cm length of cloth purchased by the customers.Hence, the selling price of 95 cm clothes is 110*(19/20) rupees.Therefore, the selling price of 105 cm clothes is 115.5 rupees.Hence, the profit is 15.5%

radius, l/2 and b in the above diagram form a right-angled triangle.=&gt;&nbsp;${(\frac{l}{2})}^2 + b^2 = 2^2$We know that the area of the rectangle is l*b, which can be obtained by considering 2 times the geometric mean of&nbsp;${(\frac{l}{2})}^2$Therefore, for the maximum area, the equality condition of AM-GM inequality should be satisfied =&gt;&nbsp;${(\frac{l}{2})}^2$ = $b^2$ =&gt; l = 2b=&gt; l/b = 2/1

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon of 'n' sides is given by&nbsp;(2n−4)×&nbsp;90, and the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360 degrees.So, the difference between them will be 120 * n=&gt;&nbsp;(2n−4)90 − 360 = 120n=&gt; 60n = 720 =&gt; n = 12.We know that the number of diagonals of a regular polygon is nC2 - n = 12C2 - 12 = 66 - 12 = 54.

The given sequence can be written as:$ 1\left(1 + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{64} + ...\right) + \frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{16} + ...\right) + \frac{1}{9}\left(\frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{64} + ...\right) + ... $We know that the sum of an infinite G.P. is $ \frac{a}{1-r} $, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.=&gt; The first term = $ \frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{4}{3} $=&gt; The second term = $ \frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)}{1-\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)}\right) = \frac{1}{9} $=&gt; The third term = $ \frac{1}{9}\left(\frac{\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)}{1-\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)}\right) = \frac{1}{108} $Observing these three terms, we see that they are in G.P. with a common ratio of $ \frac{1}{12} $=&gt; Sum of this infinite G.P. = $ \frac{\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)}{1-\left(\frac{1}{12}\right)} = \frac{16}{11} $

The first series goes as follows:46, 54, 62, 70, 78, 86, 94, 102,....The second series goes as follows:98, 102, 106, 110,...The first common term is 102 (first term of the common terms) and the common difference between them will be lcm (4, 8) = 8=&gt; The required sequence is 102, 110, 118,..... (last term should be less than 468 (100th term of second series))=&gt; 102 + (n-1)(8)&nbsp;≤&nbsp;498=&gt; n is less than or equal to 50.5&nbsp;=&gt;&nbsp;n = 50Using the summation of A.P. formula:Required sum = $\frac{n}{2}(2a + (n - 1)d) = \frac{50}{2}(2 \times 102 + 49 \times 8) = 14900$

Given that f(3x + 2y, 2x - 5y) = 19x.Let us assume the function f(a, b) is a linear combination of a and b.=&gt; f(3x+2y, 2x-5y) = m(3x+2y) + n(2x-5y) = 19x=&gt; 3m + 2n = 19 and 2m - 5n = 0Solving we get m = 5 and n = 2=&gt; f(a, b) = 5a+2b=&gt; f(x, 2x) = 5x + 2(2x) = 9x = 27 =&gt; x = 3.
