JEE 2023 — Mathematics PYQ
JEE | Mathematics | 2023x=(83+13)13 and y=(72+9)9. If [t] denotes the greatest integer ≤t, then
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
[x] is odd but [y] is even
- B.
[x]+[y] is even
(Correct Answer) - C.
[x] and [y] are both odd
- D.
[x] is even but [y] is odd
[x]+[y] is even
Explanation
Equations:
-
x=(83+13)13
-
y=(72+9)9
Steps for x:
-
Let f=(83−13)13, where 0 < f < 1.
-
x−f=(83+13)13−(83−13)13
-
x−f=2×(Integer)=Even
-
Isliye, [x] is even.
Steps for y:
-
Let f′=(72−9)9, where 0 < f' < 1.
-
y−f′=(72+9)9−(72−9)9
-
y−f′=2×(Integer)=Even
-
Isliye, [y] is even.
Conclusion:
[x]+[y]=Even+Even=Even
Sahi Option: (2)
