Answer is C:
Explaination:
a(1) = 0 (given)
a(2) = 3 (given)
a(3) = |a(1)| - |a(2)| = |0| - |3| = 0 - 3 = -3
a(4) = |a(2)| - |a(3)| = |3| - |-3| = 3 - 3 = 0
a(5) = |a(3)| - |a(4)| = |-3| - |0| = 3 - 0 = 3
a(6) = |a(4)| - |a(5)| = |0| - |3| = 0 - 3 = -3
So the series is 0, 3, -3, 0, 3, -3, for a(1), a(2), a(3), a(4), a(5) and a(6) respectively. If you look at the series carefully, S(3) = 0 + 3 + (-3) = 0
this trend will continue and hence S(3), S(6), S(9)..... S(99) = 0
S(101) = S(99) + a(100) + a(101) = 0 + 0 + 3 = 3
S(101) = 3
OA please
Verbal:
QUESTION ITSELF IS WRONG. LOOK AT THE OPTOINS GIVEN. FIRST OPTION IS NOT THE ORIGINAL SENTENCE. ORIGINAL SENTENCE IS NOT AMONG THE ANSWER CHOICES GIVEN.
John was one of the few people [u]to get his hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed by several months due to front man Bono’s back injury.[u]
(A) to get his hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed by several months on account of front man Bono’s back injury.
(B) to get their hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed by several months due to front man Bono and his back injury.
(C) to get their hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed by several months because of front man Bono’s back injury.
(D) who got his hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed by several months on account of front man Bono and his back injury.
(E) who got his hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed because of front man Bono and his back injury.
Question is wrong. I choose option C among the option given.
I understand that the question itself is wrong. The first choice must be the original sentence. In the question given above, if you notice, the first option is not the original sentence. Infact, the original sentence is not here among all the five options available.
Looking at the question and considering the options, I will go for original sentence.
Reason for choosing original sentence.
(A) to get his hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed by several months on account of front man Bono’s back injury. "on account of" is awkward.
(B) to get their hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed by several months due to front man Bono and his back injury. "front man Bono and his back injury" it changes the meaning of the sentence
(C) to get their hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed by several months because of front man Bono’s back injury. Correct - "because of front man Bono’s back injury" A tour here is the sentence subject and we need adverb phrase but not adjective phrase.
(D) who got his hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed by several months on account of front man Bono and his back injury. "on account of...and his back injury" and changes the meaning of sentence
(E) who got his hands on an advance ticket for U2’s North American tour – a tour that was delayed because of front man Bono and his back injury. "front man Bono and his back injury" and here changes the meaning of the sentence
As has been told to you by Bunuel before: Do not post the answers on this thread. Answer ONLY on the thread of the respective questions.
As for the Verbal question, yes, it is unconventional. But it makes one thing clear - the given sentence certainly has errors. Try to find the correct option of the given 5 (and post it only on the Question 4 thread, not here)
