PASSAGE 1

Investigators of the Bermuda Triangle have long noted the existence of another mystery area in the world’soceans, southeast of Japan, between Japan and the Bonin Islands, specifically between two Jima and MarcusIsland, with a record and reputation indicative of special danger to ships and planes. Whether the shipshave been lost from underwater volcanoes or sudden tidal waves, this area, often called the Devil’s Sea,enjoys at least officially an even more sinister reputation than the Bermuda Triangle in that the Japaneseauthorities have proclaimed it a danger zone. This action came out often an investigation carried out by aJapanese surface craft in 1955.The Devil’s Sea had long been dreaded by fishermen, who believed it was inhabited by devils, demons andmonsters who seized the ships of the unwary. Aircraft and boats had disappeared in the area over a periodof many years, but during the time when Japan was at peace, nine modern ships disappeared in the period

of 1950 to 1954, with crews totaling several hundred persons, in circumstances characteristic (extensiveair-sea searches, lack of wreckage or oil slicks) of the happenings in the Bermuda Triangle.The Bermuda Triangle and the Devil’s Sea share a striking coincidence. The Bermuda Triangle includes,almost at its western terminus, longitude 80° west, a line where true north and magnetic north becomealigned with no compass variation to be calculated. And this same 80°W changes its designation when itpasses the poles, becoming 150°E. From the North Pole south, it continues on, passing east of Japan, andcrosses the middle of the Devils’s Sea. At this point in the centre of the Devils’s Sea, a compass needle willalso point to true north and magnetic north at the same time, just as it does at the western border of theBermuda Triangle on the other side of the world.The unexplained losses in the Japanese equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle were instrumental in inspiringa government-sponsored investigation of the area, which took place in 1955. This expedition with scientiststaking data as their ship, the Kaiyo Maru No. 5, cruised the Devil’s Sea, ended on a rather spectacular note –the survey ship suddenly vanished with its crew and the investigating scientists!The presence of one or more other areas of disappearance in the world’s oceans has led to some unusualspeculations. Theories concerning antigravity warps have been advanced, presupposing areas where thelaws of gravity and normal magnetic attraction no longer function in ways with which we are familiar.Ralph Barker, author of Great Mysteries of the Air, noting that new developments in physics point to theevidence of the existence of anti-gravitational particles of matter’ suggests ‘the presence of anti-gravitationalor “contra-terrene” matter, of a nature completely contrary to those known on this planet ... of appallingexplosive character when [it] comes into proximity of matter as we know it ... embedded in localized areasof the earth....’ He offers the possibility that this matter may have arrived from space and become embeddedunder the earth’s crust, sometimes under the land but more often under the sea.Consideration of this theory offers a possible explanation of electronic and magnetic malfunction withingiven areas but would not, however, explain the many losses of ships and planes within sight of land. Oneremembers, in this connection, reports of other areas of magnetic anomaly over other bodies of waterthroughout the world where the pull of something under the water is stronger than that of the NorthMagnetic Pole.A more detailed study of the Bermuda Triangle and other suspect areas was made by Ivan Sanderson anddiscussed in his article “The Twelve Devil’s Graveyards Around the World,” written for Saga magazine. Inplotting ship and plane disappearances throughout the world, Sanderson and his associates first found thatthe majority of these mysterious losses occurred in six areas, all of them having more or less the samelozenge shape and coincidentally located between latitudes 30° and 40° north and south of the Equator andincluding the Bermuda Triangle and the Devil’s Sea.Developing his theory further, Ivan Sanderson established a network of twelve ‘anomalies’ atseventy-two-degree intervals around the world, centered more precisely at 36° north and south latitude,making five in the Northern Hemisphere, five in the Southern and including the North and South poles.The reason for the Bermuda Triangle being the most celebrated, he suggests, is that it is the most travelledwhile the others, although located in less travelled areas, also give considerable evidence, of magnetic spacetime anomalies.The majority of these active areas lie due east of continental land masses where warm ocean currents goingnorth collide with cold currents going south. In addition to this current collision, these areas also representthe nodal points where the surface ocean currents turn one way and the subsurface currents turn in anotherdirection. The great subsurface tidal currents sweeping tangentially, and influenced by differenttemperatures, set up magnetic vortices, affecting radio communication, magnetism – perhaps even gravity –and eventually, in special conditions, causing air and surface craft to vanish – sailing or flying off into adifferent point in time and space. An interesting sidelight on the erratic behaviour of these areas isunderlined by Sanderson in describing the astonishing ‘early arrivals’ of carefully clocked-in air flightswhere planes have arrived so far ahead of schedule that the only possible explanation would be that theyhad a tail wind behind them blowing, for example, at 500 miles per hour. Such incidents may be the resultof unrecorded winds but they seem to occur most frequently within the Bermuda Triangle and other vortexareas, as if these particular planes had encountered the anomaly but had skirted or been propelled safelythrough the ‘hole in the sky’ that had cost so many travellers their lives.

PASSAGE 2

The people of the Skagit love the Alpine scenery where their river is born. They climb the mountain peaks,hunt in the hills, and fish in the icy streams – and mourn the passing of the day when the river almostoverran its banks with steelhead and salmon.“When I was a lad,” old-timer Rudy Clark told me, “I used to have to whip the horse to make him cross. Hewas terrified, trying to walk through the fish. But when we reached the other side, the spokes would havethrown enough salmon up into the wagon to last the family for days. But what fish are left today,well,theIndians get ‘em”.The controversy surrounding fish and Indians is only one of many on Washington State's SkagitRiver,which flows from the high wilderness of the Cascade Range into Puget Sound and the Pacific. Itsyear-round ice-ridden tributary valleys are deep and cold. Yet, where its glacial waters reach the seascarcely a hundred miles away, the Skagit delta is one of the most fertile gardens of the globe.Five million pounds of vegetable seeds were harvested here in 1976, including two-thirds of the bestspinach, beet, and cabbage seeds in the country. Lush dairy lands share the delta with loamy fields sownwith tulips, irises, daffodils, and strawberries. From the mountains that slope down from the feet of Skagitglaciers come hundreds of millions of board feet of prime fir and cedar and hemlock.Yet the Skagit has been proposed for federal protection under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Thequestions, then,if not the answers, are clear. How does one declare a river scenic or recreational when the

people of its floodplain, with their farms and homes and highways, need more dams for flood protection?When it already turns turbines at five major hydroelectric dams, and a higher one is on the drawing board?How does one elect to preserve even more of the river's forests as wilderness when those already reservedare coveted by the timber industry? When a thousand square miles of its mountains and lakes have recentlybecome national park, national recreation area, or federal wilderness? When the secrets of its fishing andboating and climbing and camping have leaked out to a world hungry for recreation?And add to that controversial coming of nuclear power to the Skagit. And the spectre of a horde of foreignhomesteaders, from such places as California, Connecticut,and Canada—anxious to buy, along with Skagitdrizzle and fog, some peace and quiet to calm the soul.Big Beaver Valley is a forested cathedral, its columns giant cedars, its nave leads the eye upward towardssuch altars as ice-mantled Mount Shuksan, and the white cone of volcanic Mount Baker, its crater smokingas if with incense.If Seattle City Light is to obtain another 270000 kilowatts of peaking power for what is already one of themost electrified cities in the world, it must flood part of Big Beaver Valley by raising Ross Dam another 121feet, adding to its already very high 400-foot waterhead.Paul Kraabel and Tim Hill, councilmen of the city of Seattle are trying to decide whether they really wantmore power for Seattle at such expense. “Our City,” Tim told me, “owns the electric company and is madeup of people who constantly use more power. But also of people who love these mountains and valleys.Besides, if the Federal Power Commission and City Council vote to raise Ross Dam, the flooding wouldswallow up seven square miles of recreation land in Canada.That could provoke a lot of anti-Americanism.”I knew. An irate Canadian had already told me: “We made a bad bargain with City Light ten years ago.Traded miles of the Canadian Skagit for a pitiable payoff of $34,556 a year.”But that was before the environmental revolution of the late 1960's. In 1974-75, Norman Pearson, thenBritish Columbia's deputy minister of lands, tried to reverse the agreement.“The entire thing,” he told me, “is tangled up in politics. The best hope for the Skagit is for your FederalPower Commission to heed the environmentalists and other agencies, kill the high dam project, and get ourtwo national governments off the hook.”However that international wound may fester, City Light is proposing to construct Copper Creek Dam onthe main stem of the river entirely within Washington State. Hundreds of Skagit floodplain farmers wouldapplaud.“In 1975, on this river, we lost more than 100 cattle in a flood,” said Bob Hulbert, a supervisor of the SkagitConservation District. “No loss of human life , thank God. But it was bad enough.” “The Copper Creek Damwouldn't really help all that much, though. Two Skagit tributaries are the real problems, the Sauk and theSuiattle. And they’d be kept free of dams if they became scenic rivers.”“If we can't get a dam on the Sauk, we’ll have to build a major diversion channel for flood water, and raiseand strengthen our dikes. Either way, it’s going to cost a lot of money.”

Crack CAT 1 Common Admission Test·a triangle with sides x y z, , can be constructed iff atriangle with sides 2 2 2x y z, , can be constructed.The advantage of considering the process asgenerating ( ), ( )- + + - +a b c a b c , ( )a b c+ - froma b c, , is that the sum of the sides remains unchangedat a b c+ + , so we can focus on just one of the threesides. Thus we are looking at the sequencea a b c a, ( ) ,+ + - 2 a b c a b c+ + - - + +2 ( ), ... . Letd a b c= - -2 . We show that the process generates thesequence a, a d a d a d- + -, , ,3 a d a d+ -5 11, , a d+ 21 ,... . Let the nth term be a a dn

a an n n+ = + -1 2 1( ) . This is an easy induction, for we

have a a dnn+ - +

na d = - - -d a dnn2 1( ) , and hence

a an nn

+ = + -1 2 1( ) . But this shows that an is

unbounded. Hence, if d is non-zero, then the processultimately generates a negative number. Thus anecessary condition for the process to generatetriangles indefinitely is that 2a b c= + . Similarly,2b c a= + is a necessary condition. But these twoequations imply (subtracting) a b= and hence a c= .So, a necessary condition is that the triangle isequilateral. But this is obviously also sufficient.Hence, choice (4) is correct.

13. (2) We consider the mid point of each side. We say that avertex ( , )x y is pure if x and y have the same parity andimpure if x and y have opposite parity. Since, the totalnumber of vertices is odd, there must be two adjacentpure vertices P and Q or two adjacent impure verticesP and Q. But in either case the mid point of P and Qeither has both coordinates integers, which we aretold does not happen, or as both coordinates of theform an integer plus half, which therefore must occur.Hence, choice (2) is correct.

14. (5) We can exhibit a sequence with 13 terms which doesnot contain a prime: 2 101× = 202, 3 97× = 291,5 89× = 445, 7 83× = 581, 11 79× = 869, 13 73× = 949,17 71× = 1207, 19 67× = 1273, 23 61× = 1403,29 59× = 1711, 31 53× = 1643, 37 47× = 1739,

41 43× = 1763. So, certainly n ³ 14.

If there is a sequence with n ³ 14 not containing anyprimes, then since there are only 13 primes notexceeding 41, at least one member of the sequencemust have at least two prime factors exceeding 41.Hence, it must be at least 43.47 = 2021 which exceeds1995. So, n = 14 is impossible.Hence, choice (5) is correct.

15. (5) Each pair of 0, 5, 12 differ by 5, 7 or 12, sof f f( ), ( ), ( )0 5 12 must all be different, so n ³ 3.We can exhibit an f with n = 4. Define f m( ) = 1 form = 1 3 5 7 9 11, , , , , (mod 24), f m( ) = 2 for m = 2, 4, 6, 8,10, 12 (mod 24), f m( ) = 3 for m = 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23(mod 24), f m( ) = 4 for m = 14, 16, 18, 20, 22,0 (mod 24). Hence, n = 4.Hence, choice (5) is correct.

16. (5) Let A b c a B c a b2 2= + - = + -, , C a b c2 = + - . Then,

A B c2 2 2+ = . Also, A B= iff a b= . We have

( )A B- ³2 0, with equality iff A B= . Hence,

A B AB2 2 2+ ³ and so 2 2 2 2( ) ( )A B A B+ ³ + or

4 2c A B³ +( ) or 2 c A B³ + , with equality iff A B= .

Adding the two similar relations we get the desiredinequality, with equality iff the triangle is equilateral.Hence, choice (5) is correct.

18. (3) We have 2 11p - = mod p for any prime p, so if we can

find h in {1, 2, ..., p - 2} for which2 2h = - mod p, then

2 2k = - mod p for any h k= mod p. Thus we find that

2 2k = - mod 5 for k = 3 mod 4, and2 2k = - mod 11 for

k = 6 mod 10. So, we might, then hope that 5 11× = 3mod 4 and 2 13 6× = mod 10. Unfortunately, it doesnot! But we try searching for more examples.The simplest would be to look at pq. Suppose first thatp and q are both odd, so that pq is odd. If k h= modp -1, then we need h to be odd (otherwise pq wouldhave to be even). So, the first step is to get a list ofprimes p with 2 2h = - mod p for some odd h p< . We

always have 2 11p - = mod p, so we sometimes have

2 11 2( )/p - = - mod p and hence 2 21 2( )/p + = - mod p. Ifp + 1

2is to be odd, then p = 1 mod 4. So, searching

such primes we find 3 mod 5, 7 mod 13, 15 mod 29, 19mod 37, 27 mod 53, 31 mod 61. We require pq to lie inthe range 100-1997, so we check5 29× (not = 3 mod 4),5 37× (not =3 mod 4),5 53× (not = 3 mod 4),5 61× (not = 3mod 4),13 29× (not = 7 mod 12),13 37× (not = 7 mod 12),13 53× (not = 7 mod 12),13 61× (not = 7 mod 12),29 37×(not = 15 mod 28), 29 53× (not = 15 mod 28), 29 61×(not = 15 mod 28), 37 53× (not = 19 mod 36).

Also, 11 divides 2 2n + if and only if n º 6 (mod 10),

and 43 divides 2 2n + if and only if n º 8 (mod 14).

Since, n = = × ×946 2 11 43 satisfies both congruences,n divides 2 2n + .

Alternatively : The first step would be to choosen p= 2 , for some prime number p. Unfortunately, thiscannot work by Fermat’s little theorem. So, let us trysetting n pq= 2 , with p q, different prime numbers. We

20. (1) Let N be a positive integer satisfying the condition and

let n be the largest integer not exceeding its cube root.

If n = 7, then 3 4 5 7 420× × × = must divide N. But N

is 420.

If n ³ 8, then 3 8 5 7 840× × × = divides N, so N > =729 93.

Hence, 9 divides N, and hence 3 840 2520× = divides

N. But we show that no N > 2000 can satisfy the

condition.

Note that 2 1 3 3( )x x- > for any x > 4 . Hence, [ ]xx3

\25 nominees belong to Horror, Musical, Romanticand Comedy genre and rest 25 nominees belong toAnimation and Sci-fi genre.But we know that in Animation and Sci-fi altogetherthere are 10% (25 nominees) of the total 250.

So the remaining 25 nominees from the age group of25-30 will be nominated for the 25 nominations ofAnimation and Sci-fi.Hence, all the nominations of Sci-fi genre belong tothe age group of 25-30 years.

So, the answer should be 100%.

Hence, choice (5) is correct.

Solutions (Q. 29-31)In the context of Lucknow

B2 is already engaged on Wednesday (in Barabanki).

Also, B2 is not entitled to protect JDU. Therefore,

B2 will be protecting some rally on Monday in

Lucknow.

In the context of Sitapur

B4 can protect either SP rally or BSP rally. But B4 is

already engaged on Thursday, so B4 has to protect SP

rally on Wednesdey in Sitapur.

Again in Sitapur, on Thursday there will be either

B2 or B3 on duty and consequently the rally can be

held either by BJP, or Congress or SP.

But since SP and Congress are holding their rallies on

Wednesday and Friday respectively, so BJP is the only

party which will hold rally on Thursday and hence

the protection will be provided by B2 (not by B3).

Therefore,

Congress B¨ 3

BJP B¨ 2

SP B¨ 4

JDU B¨ 1

BSP B¨ 5

In the context of BarabankiB3 can’t be there on Tuesday as B3 is already engaged

in Lucknow.

B3 can’t be there on Wednesday as B2 is there.

B3 can’t be there on Thursday as JDU (ie, B / B1 5) is

there.

B3 can’t be there on Friday as B3 is already engaged in

Sitapur.

Crack CAT 1 Common Admission Test·Therefore, B3 will be protecting SP on Monday.

Now, since Congress rally is protected by either B2 or

B3, but B3 is already engaged with SP rally, so only B2

is there to protect Congress.

Similarly, BJP rally can be protected by B1 as B2 is

already engaged with Congress rally. Further, since B1

cannot be engaged on Tuesday in Barabanki, so B1 will

protect BJP rally on Friday.

Now, we know that since JDU rally can be protected

only by either B1 or B5. But B1 is already engaged with

BJP, so JDU will be protected by B5.

Hence, the remaining combination of party and

battalion is BSP and B4 will fit in on Tuesday.

Therefore,

SP B¨ 3

BSP B¨ 4

Congress B¨ 2

JDU B¨ 5

BJP B¨ 1

In the context of LucknowSince, B1 is already engaged on Friday with BJP rally

(in Barabanki), so JDU can be protected by B5.

Hence, B1 will be there on Wednesday.

Since, B5 protects JDU, so BSP will be protected by B4.

Since, B4 protects BSP, so SP will be protected by B3.

Since, B3 protects SP, so Congress will be protected by

B2.

Hence, B1 will protect the remaining party-BJP on

Wednesday.
