For \( n \in \mathbb{N} \), the largest positive integer that divides \( 81^n + 20n - 1 \) is \( k \). If \( S \) is the sum of all positive divisors of \( k \), then find \( S - k \).
\[ \textbf{If } | \text{Adj} \ A | = x \text{ and } | \text{Adj} \ B | = y, \text{ then } \left( | \text{Adj}(AB) | \right)^{-1} \text{ is } \]
\[ D = \begin{vmatrix} -\frac{bc}{a^2} & \frac{c}{a} & \frac{b}{a} \\ \frac{c}{b} & -\frac{ac}{b^2} & \frac{a}{b} \\ \frac{b}{c} & \frac{a}{c} & -\frac{ab}{c^2} \end{vmatrix} \]
With respect to the roots of the equation \( 3x^3 + bx^2 + bx + 3 = 0 \), match the items of List-I with those of List-II.
A man has 7 relatives, 4 of them are ladies and 3 gents; his wife has 7 other relatives, 3 of them are ladies and 4 gents. The number of ways they can invite them to a party of 3 ladies and 3 gents so that there are 3 of man's relatives and 3 of wife's relatives, is
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other one labelled as Reason (R).Assertion (A): \[ 1 + \frac{2.1}{3.2} + \frac{2.5.1}{3.6.4} + \frac{2.5.8.1}{3.6.9.8} + \dots \infty = \sqrt{4} \] Reason (R): \[ |x| <1, \quad (1 - x)^{-1} = 1 + nx + \frac{n(n+1)}{1.2} x^2 + \frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{1.2.3} x^3 + \dots \]
Solving the System of Linear Equations
If (x,y,z) = (α,β,γ) is the unique solution of the system of simultaneous linear equations:
3x - 4y + 2z + 7 = 0, 2x + 3y - z = 10, x - 2y - 3z = 3,
then α = ?
If the function \( f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + bx + 40 \) satisfies the conditions of Rolle's theorem on the interval \( [-5, 4] \) and \( -5, 4 \) are two roots of the equation \( f(x) = 0 \), then one of the values of \( c \) as stated in that theorem is:
