John deposited $10,000 to open a new savings account that earned 8 percent annual interest, compounded quarterly. If there were no other transactions in the account, what was the amount of money in John’s account 6 months after the account was opened?  Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) $10,100	B) $10,101	C) $10,200	D) $10,201	E) $10,404

Solution: 8 percent annual interest compounded quarterly --> 2% in 3 moths.   For the first 3 moths interest was 2% of $10,000, so $200;   For the next 3 moths interest was 2% of $10,000,plus 4 earned on previous interest of $100, so $200+$4=$204;   Total interest for 6 months was $200+$204  200+ 4= 
  200+ 4 = 204
$204;   Total interest for 6 months was $200+$204=$404, hence balance after 6 months was $10,000+ $404 200+ 204= 
 200+ 204 = 404
$404, hence balance after 6 months was $10,000+ $404=$10,404.   Answer:$10,404.

Answer: B
For any natural number n, F(n) is the least common multiple of all natural numbers upto. For how many values of n less than 100, F(n+1) - F(n) = 0?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers: A) 33 B) 64 C) 29 D) 27 E) 01

Solution: F(n) is the LCM of al natural numbers upto n.   For example,   F(3) = 6   F(5) = 60   F(6) = 60 etc.   F(n + 1) - F(n) = 0   ⇒⇒ F(n + 1) = F(n)   It would hapen only when factors of (n + 1) are already present in the LCM of first n natural numbers. In other words, Whenever (n + 1) is Prime number or is any Integral power of any prime number, F(n + 1) ≠≠ F(n)   for example, F(31) ≠≠ F(32) as 32 = 2525 which is, 2 raised to power 5. or F(4) ≠≠ F(5) as 5 is prime so the power of 5 does not contain in F(4).   Between 1 and 100, there are 25 prime numbers. So if (n+1) is one of these number then F(n + 1) ≠≠ F(n).   Also {4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 9, 27, 81, 25, 49} are prime numbers raised to some exponent.   Hence, none of these 35 numbers from 1 to 99 cannot be the possible values of n. So for   99 - 35= 
  99 - 35 = 64
64 numbers F(n)= F(n+1)   Answer:64
