Any number can be expressed of the form: 9K+i; where k= {0,1,2,....} and i={0,1,...,8} Now, we have to select numbers from {1,2,...,3000} in a manner so that final set does not contain any two numbers whose sum is divisible by 9. We have to identify the maximum size of such selection. Now, within 1 to...

Any number can be expressed of the form: 9K+i; where k= {0,1,2,....} and i={0,1,...,8} Now, we have to select numbers from {1,2,...,3000} in a manner so that final set does not contain any two numbers whose sum is divisible by 9. We have to identify the maximum size of such selection. Now, within 1 to 3000, #elements of the form 9k+1 = 334. #elements of the form 9k+2 = 334. #elements of the form 9k+3 = 334. #elements of the form 9k+4 = 333. #elements of the form 9k+5 = 333. #elements of the form 9k+6 = 333. #elements of the form 9k+7 = 333. #elements of the form 9k+8 = 333. #elements of the form 9k = 333. Now, as per condition, if you select any number from the group 9k+i then you can not select number from the group 9k+j where i+j=9. So, in order to maximize the size of selection, you will go for group: 9K+1, 9k+2,9K+3 and 9k+4. So, total (334+334+334+333=1335). Now, you can select exactly one number from the group 9K. (More than one will result their sum divisible by 9). So, total becomes 1336. Now, you have to exclude 1 (from group 9k+1) and 3000 (from group 9k+3). So finally you are with 1334 numbers! read less

numbers can be split into 1mod9,2mod9.. 0mod9(remainder when divided by 9). (1,8) (2,7) (3,6)(4,5) (0,0) make pairs which add upto 9. so only one of these pairs has to be chosen. Hence the answer is (333*4+3+1)= 1336

I am graduating this year. Also, I've appeared for CAT 2018. I scored 85.5 percentile (90+ percentile both in VA/RC and DI/LR but only 33 percentile in QA). I'll appear this year too. What should be my preparation strategy for QA? Also, my academic background isn't impressive. I am first division though, maintaining 65% right since class 12th, had 92% in 10th class. I'm pursuing a BA in polity, geo and eco. What are the skills I should work on to build a good MBA profile? Thanks in anticipation.
Forget about profile. Just try getting as high a percentile as possible in CAT. Written +GD/PI/WAT form the major chunk of the selection process in any top b school.
