I do not wish to cast aspersions on the corporate takeover. On the contrary, it is a key facilitator of creative destruction and doubtless the most effective remaining means by which shareholder voices can mold a corporation. But while change in management is often necessary, you cannot effectively run a corporation with differing authoritative i voices espousing opposing corporate goals. It has to be one or the other. If the board s riven with conflicting interests, corporate governance will suffer. If directors cannot agree with the CEO's strategy, they should replace him. Corporate dissonance, of course, is unavoidable in periods of transition. But it is not a value to be pursued for its own sake. A cacophony produces only red ink.

Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2018 PYQ

Solution

The total number of ways in which numbers can be choosed =25 x 25=625  The number of ways in which either players can choose same numbers = 25  
Probability that they win a prize = 25/625 = 1/25 
Thus, the probability that they will not win a prize in a single trial = 1 - 1/25 = 24/25

The quadratic equation whose roots are $\sin^218^o$ and $\cos^236^o$  is





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2018 PYQ

Solution

Roots: 
$\alpha = \sin^2 18^\circ = \left(\frac{\sqrt{5} - 1}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{3 - \sqrt{5}}{8}$ 
$\beta = \cos^2 36^\circ = \left(\frac{\sqrt{5} + 1}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{3 + \sqrt{5}}{8}$ 

Sum of roots ($S$): 
$S = \alpha + \beta = \frac{(3 - \sqrt{5}) + (3 + \sqrt{5})}{8} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$ 

Product of roots ($P$): $P = \alpha\beta = \left(\frac{(\sqrt{5} - 1)(\sqrt{5} + 1)}{16}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{4}{16}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{16}$ 

Equation: $x^2 - Sx + P = 0$ $x^2 - \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{16} = 0 \implies 16x^2 - 12x + 1 = 0$

Sum to infinity of a geometric is twice the sum of the first two terms. Then what are the possible values of common ratio?





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2018 PYQ

Solution

Let first term $= a$ and common ratio $= r$, where $|r| < 1$

Sum to infinity: $S_{\infty} = \dfrac{a}{1-r}$

Sum of first two terms: $S_2 = a + ar = a(1+r)$

Step 2: Set up the equation
Given: $S_{\infty} = 2 \times S_2$

$\dfrac{a}{1-r} = 2 \cdot a(1+r)$

Step 3: Simplify
Dividing both sides by $a$ (since $a \ne 0$):

$\dfrac{1}{1-r} = 2(1+r)$

$1 = 2(1+r)(1-r)$

$1 = 2(1 - r^2)$

$1 = 2 - 2r^2$

$2r^2 = 1$

$r^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}$

$r = \pm\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2018 PYQ

Solution

Given: The sequence is in H.P. with \(a_m = n\) and \(a_n = m\) \((m \ne n)\).

In an H.P., reciprocals of terms form an A.P. So, \(\tfrac{1}{a_m} = \tfrac{1}{n}\) and \(\tfrac{1}{a_n} = \tfrac{1}{m}\).

This A.P. leads to common difference \(d = \tfrac{1}{mn}\) and first term \(A = \tfrac{1}{mn}\).

Thus, the reciprocal of the \((m+n)\)th term is:

\(b_{m+n} = \tfrac{m+n}{mn}\)

Hence, the \((m+n)\)th term of H.P. is:

\(a_{m+n} = \dfrac{mn}{m+n}\)

Final Answer: \( \dfrac{mn}{m+n} \)

Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2018 PYQ

Solution

Given: Mean of squares of first n natural numbers is 11.

Use the identity for sum of squares: $$\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$$

Mean \(=\) (sum) \( \div n \Rightarrow \) $$\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^{n}k^2=\frac{(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}=11$$

Solve for \(n\): $$(n+1)(2n+1)=66 $$ $$\;\Rightarrow\; 2n^2+3n+1=66 \;\Rightarrow\; $$ $$n=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+520}}{4}=\frac{-3\pm 23}{4}$$

Only positive integer solution: $$n=\frac{20}{4}=5$$

Answer: \(n=5\).

Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2018 PYQ

Solution

Equation:

\(6x^2 - xy - 2y^2 = 0\)

Compare with: \( ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0 \)

\(a = 6\)

\(2h = -1 \;\;\Rightarrow\;\; h = -\tfrac{1}{2}\)

\(b = -2\)

Slopes satisfy:

\(bm^2 + 2hm + a = 0\)

\(-2m^2 - m + 6 = 0\)

\(\Rightarrow 2m^2 + m - 6 = 0\)

Solving quadratic:

\(m = \dfrac{-1 \pm \sqrt{49}}{4}\)

\(m = \dfrac{-1 \pm 7}{4}\)

Therefore:

\(m_1 = \tfrac{3}{2}, \quad m_2 = -2\)

Answer: \( \tfrac{7}{2} \)

Solution

Key Concept: AM-GM Inequality
$\dfrac{a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_n}{n} \geq (a_1 \cdot a_2 \cdots a_n)^{1/n}$

Step 1: Rewrite the sum
$a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_{n-1} + 2a_n$

This has $n$ terms: $(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{n-1}, 2a_n)$

Step 2: Apply AM-GM
$\dfrac{a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_{n-1} + 2a_n}{n} \geq (a_1 \cdot a_2 \cdots a_{n-1} \cdot 2a_n)^{1/n}$

$\geq (2 \cdot a_1 a_2 \cdots a_n)^{1/n}$

$\geq (2c)^{1/n}$

Step 3: Find minimum
$a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + 2a_n \geq n(2c)^{1/n}$

Minimum value $= n(2c)^{1/n}$

Equality holds when $a_1 = a_2 = \cdots = a_{n-1} = 2a_n$

Answer: Minimum value $= \boxed{n(2c)^{1/n}}$

Solution

Total No of students = 50
No of students who can speak both English and Hindi = 10
No of students who can speak Hindi = 50−21 = 29 + 10 = 39
No of students who can speak only Hindi = 50 − 21 = 29 
No of students who can speak only English = 21 − 10 = 11

Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2018 PYQ

Solution

We have to make 5 digit no. And also divisible by 4 using digits (1,2,3,4,5,6) To be divisible by 4 last two digit of 5 digits no should be divisible by 4 so we choose last two digits st they are divisible by 4 and rest with remaining four digits. Last two digits only can be 12,16,24,32,36,52,56,64 as all are divisible by 4. So total no of ways= no ways of choosing first 3 digits* no ways of choosing last two digits Total= (4*3*2)*(8) =192
