ISI dbts....

1) Suppose that x1,x2....xn are reals.

Given xi=-xn-i+1

S=ΣΣΣxixjxk summation is over all distinct i,j,k belonging to [1,n]

Find S.

2) Consider the smallest number in each of the subsets of size r of the set X={1,2,3,4,5....n}.

Show the arithmetic mean of the nos. so obtained is n+1r+1.

2) HINT :
AM = \frac{\sum_{t=1}^{n-r+1}{\;\; \; t*^{n-t}C_{r-1}}}{\sum_{t=1}^{n-r+1}{\;\; \; ^{n-t}C_{r-1}}}

raja .. is the answer to the 1st question independent of xi's?

I find it a bit strange (this question)

In the second question.. all you have to do is to find the number of subsets whose smallest element is r.. and then sum up :)

ashish is right regarding the second question

@ nishant sir, there are options....and all the 3 options are in terms of n only.....with d) reading NOT.

2) Pls evaluate it...dat's the dbt, I'm a bit weak in bio summations.

take all the xi's as very close to zero but distinct..

The sum will be zero..

Take them as very large numbers.. sum will be a large number..

Hence this does not make a lot of sense!

I Guess NOT!
