Other than (D), all numbers are less than 20102010. Now 37 > 2010.

3(39), result follows.

3. Ans: (B)

the third statement is correct: a < b implies a + c < b + c.

counterexamples can be taken as a = -1, b = 1; c = 0 a = b = -1

The last digit of 7k is 1,7,9,3 respectively for k == 0, 1,2,3 (mod 4). Since 77 == (_1)7 == 3 (mod 4), the last digit of 7(77) is 3.

Ans: 369.

It is easy to see that b = 5, ab = 25 or b = 6, ab = 36. Upon checking, b = 6, a = 3 so

- = 632 = 3969. Therefore c = 9. Hence abc = 369.

2010 is easily factored as 2 x 3 x 5 x 67. Checking that 67 is also a factor

67 is also a A The IS to HH'\"UH.r;

a+b = _- = 30 67

and

ab = -- = 1.

Since

can be factored easily, a and b must be 13 and 17. So

answer is x =

Let X and Y be the sum of the digits at even and odd positions respectively. Note 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 9 = 45. We have X + Y = 45 and 11 divides IX - YI. It's easy to see X = and Y = 28; or X = 28 and Y = 17. Hence we split the digits into 2 sets whose sum is
