15 is divisible by 3
Any number formed by using all 5 digits will have its sum as 15, which is divisible by 3
As number is always divisible by 3 (using rule of divisibility by 3), formation of prime number is not
possible
Thus, no prime number can be formed
Hence, option A is correct answer

CH-2 Progression
Arithmetic Progression
Sum of observations
• Arithmetic Mean =
Number of observations
x1+x2+⋯…+xn
=
n
• Tn = a + (n-1)d
n
• Sn = [2a + (n-1)d]
2
n
= (a + l)
2
If numbers are consecutive numbers starting from 1 with difference = 1,
Then a = 1 and d = 1
n n (n + 1)
Sn = [2 (1) + (n-1) (1)] =
2 2
Where a = First term
d = Common difference
Tn = nth term
Sn = Sum of n terms
• While solving three unknown terms in an Arithmetic Progression whose sum or product is given
should be assumed as a-d, a, a+d
• While solving four terms in an Arithmetic Progression whose sum or product is given should be
assumed as a-3d, a-d, a+d, a+3d
As there is a page which is torn, we need to find value of n where the value on left hand side is
just above 195
n (n + 1)
For value of n = 20, = 210
2
This implies that sum of two numbers of the torn page must be 210 – 195 = 15
As the sum should be 15, only option B satisfies this condition
Geometric Progression
• Tn = arn-1
a (rn −1)
• Sn = if r > 1
𝑟−1
a (1 − rn )
• Sn = if r < 1
1−𝑟
𝑎
• SInfinity =
1−𝑟
Where a = First term
r = Common ratio
Tn = nth term
Sn = Sum of n terms
SInfinity = Sum of infinite terms with decreasing common ratio r
• While solving three unknown Term in a G.P whose sum or product is given should be assumed
a
as ( ), a, ar
r
Thus, option A and B are eliminated since they are not represented in this particular manner
Check for option C and D by putting value of n =12 for doubling of population, we find that option
C gives correct answer
Hence, option C is right choice
Harmonic Progression
n
• Harmonic Mean = 1 1 1 1
+ + +⋯..+ xn
x1 x2 x3
1
• Tn = + (n-1)d
a
• If A, G and H are respectively the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means, then
A≥G≥H
• A * H = G2, i.e. A, G, H are in GP
Sample Question
𝟏
Question - What is the minimum value of a + ?
𝒂
A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 20
𝟏
Solution - Using AM ≥ GM of a and ,
𝒂
𝟏
𝒂+𝒂 𝟏
≥ (a. )2
𝟐 𝒂
After solving,
𝟏
a+ ≥2
𝒂
Thus, minimum value of expression is 2
Hence, option C is correct answer
STUDENT’S NOTE
Using formula a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
(a + b) (a – b) = 63
63 = 9*7
Or 63 = 21*3
Or 63 = 63*1
There will be a total of three possible cases in which product of two numbers is 63
Case 1 :
(a + b) = 9 and (a – b) = 7
Then a = 8 and b = 1
Case 2 :
(a + b) = 21 and (a – b) = 3
Then a = 12 and b = 9
Case 3 :
(a + b) = 63 and (a – b) = 1
Then a = 32 and b = 31

Practice Question
Question - A particular sum of money doubles itself in 8 years when interest rate is compounded
annually. What is the interest rate?
A. 6%
B. 8%
C. 9%
D. 12%
Solution –
As money doubles in 8 years,
Using Doubling of money formula,
Rate * time = 72
Rate * 8 = 72
Rate = 9%
