GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use of mobile phones, smartphones, iPads, calculators, programmable wrist
watches is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Only ordinary pens and pencils are allowed
inside the examination hall.
2. The correction is done by machine through scanning. On OMR sheet, darken
bubbles completely with a black pencil or a black, blue pen. Darken the
bubbles completely only after you are sure of your answer: else, erasing lead
to the OMR sheet getting damaged and the machine may not be able to read
the answer.
3. The name, email address and date of birth entered on the OMR sheet will be
your login credentials for accessing your IOQM score.
4. Incomplete /incorrectly and carelessly filled information may disqualify your
candidature.
5. Each question has a one or two digit number as answer. The first diagram
below shows improper and proper way of darkening the bubble with detailed
instructions. The second diagram shows how to mark a 2-digit number and a
1-digit number.
6. The answer you write on OMR sheet is irrelevant. The darken bubble will be
considered as your final answer.
7. Questions 1 to 2 carry 2 marks each: Questions 3 to 7 carry 3 marks each:
Questions 8 to 10 carry 5 marks each.
8. All questions are compulsory.
9. There are no negative marks.

5. Ans. 1

Sol. Since 13x = 7y has integer solution (0,0) so the general

solution is

x = 7t, y = 13t, ℤ

Then x + y = 20t, so 80 < x + y < 120  4 < t < 6, i.e.

t = 5. Thus

x = 35, y = 65

is the unique desired solution

6. Ans. 33

Sol: This question can be solved by factorization method.

Let n2 + 19n + 48 = m2 for some ℕ, then
4n 2  76n  192  4m 2 ,
so (2n + 19)2 – (2m)2 = 169

(2n –2m + 19) (2n + 2m + 19) = 132 = 1.169 = 13.13

The difference of 2n – 2m + 19 = 1 and 2n + 2m + 19 =

169 yields 4m = 168, i.e. m = 42. Therefore n
=m–9

= 33. By checking, 33 satisfies the given equation.

The difference of 2n – 2m + 19 = 13 and 2n + 2m + 19

= 13 yields m = 0, its impossible for n > 0. So n = 33 is
the unique required solution.

8. Since f(6+n) = f(f(6) + n) = f(2+n) for all n, the function
f is periodic with period 4 starting from 3 onwards.
Now f(6), f(5) = f(9), f(4) = f(12) and f(3) = f(15) are four
distinct values. Thus in every group of 4 consecutive

positive integers  3, there is exactly one that
is mapped by f to f(2005). Since the collection of three
– digit positive integers can be divided into exactly 225
groups of 4 consecutive integers each, there are 225
three digit positive integers n that satisfies f(n) =
f(2005). m/5 = 225/5 = 45
9. Ans. 16

Sol. Let ak denote the number of ways that the kth pass
reach A. We have a1 = 0.
ak = 2(ak-2 + 2ak-3 + ……….+ a1 + 1)
ak – ak-1 = 2ak-2
Thus a1 = 0, a2 = 2,….,a11 = 682
