i got B-30 reasoning at first let us find the point where line y=3x+15 intersect with the circle x^2+y^2=5^2 with radiu=5 ( as circle with the center in the origin is given wiith the equation x^2+y^2=R^2) x^2+(3x+15)^2=25 solving and simplifing x^2+9x+20=0 x1=-5,x2=-4. we need here x2=-4.

The middle 3 digits can be any digit from 0 to 9.
That means - 10x10x10 = 1000
The first and last digits can have combination as
2 _ _ _ 2
2 _ _ _ 4
4 _ _ _ 4
4 _ _ _ 2
4 combinations.
Total 5 digit combinations possible = 1000 x 4 = 4000

Thats exactly the approach I was taking, but if you notice the exponent of 5 remains constant whereas that of x is increasing.outreach wrote:week1 5
week2 5x
week3 5x^2
so new members in the end of nth week 5^(n)*x^(n-1)
B
But the answer says otherwise.

Hey thanks for the approach. I was unable to understand how to approach this. The answer is indeed D. 16 x+3y<1000 In such a case x has to be maximum possible power of 2 which turns out to be 512, which implies no. of prime factors is 9 So y will be 128, no. of prime factors is 7 So sum is 16!!!

Prime Factors
For any integer k>1, the term "length of an integer" refers to the number of positive prime factors, not necessarily distinct, whose product is equal to k. For example, if k=24, the length of k is equal to 4, since 24=2x2x2x3. If x and y are positive integers such that x>1, y>1, and x+3y<1...
