41. The value of Ф (4500) is
(a) 150 (b) 1200 (c) 320 (d) 1500
Solution
Theory:
In number theory, Euler's totient or phi function, φ(n) is an arithmetic function that counts the totatives of n, that is, the positive integers less than or equal to n that are relatively prime to n. Thus if n is a positive integer, then φ(n) is the number of integers k in the range 1 ≤ k ≤ n for which gcd(n, k) = 1. The totient function is a multiplicative function, meaning that if two numbers m and n are relatively prime (to each other), then φ(mn) = φ(m)φ(n).[3][4]
For example let n = 9. Then gcd(9, 3) = gcd(9, 6) = 3 and gcd(9, 9) = 9. The other six numbers in the range 1 ≤ k ≤ 9, that is, 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8, are relatively prime to 9. Therefore, φ(9) = 6. As another example, φ(1) = 1 since gcd(1, 1) = 1.
The totient function is important mainly because it gives the order of the multiplicative group
of integers modulo n (the group of units of the ring ).
Solve:
Ф (4500) = Ф (125*9*4) = Ф (125) Ф (9) Ф (4) = (125−25)*(9−3)*(4−2) = 1200
Answer: (b) 1200

42. If 7x = 15(mod 40), then the value of x is
(a) 25 (b) 20 (c) 35 (d) 15
Solution
7x = 15(mod 40) is equivalent to solving the equation: 7x = 15 + 40q
Now check with the answer choices:
If x = 25, q = (7*25-15)/40 = 4
If x = 20, q = (7*20-15)/40 = 3.125
If x = 35, q = (7*35-15)/40 = 5.75
If x = 15, q = (7*15-15)/40 = 2.25

46. The pair of lines ax2+2hxy+by2 = 0 are parallel if
a) a = -b (b) h2 > ab (c) h2 = ab (d) h2<ab
Solution
Theory:
If h2 ≥ ab, then ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0 represent a pair of straight lines passing through the origin.
If h2 < ab, then ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0 represents two imaginary lines having real point of intersection, the origin.
If h2 = ab, then ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0 represents coincident lines. If h2 > ab, then ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0 represents two real and different lines. If θ is an angle between the lines represented by ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0, then
Solve:
Putting θ = 0 in any of the above equation yields h2 = ab
Answer: (c) h2 = ab
