Cities A and B are in different time zones. A is located 3000 km east of B. The table below describes the schedule of an airline operating non-stop flights between A and B. All the times indicated are local and on the same day.
Departure | Departure | Arrival | Arrival |
City | Time | City | Time |
B | 8: 00 AM | A | 3: 00 PM |
A | 4: 00 PM | B | 8: 00 PM |

The following pairs of teams have one player in common: T1 & T2, T2 & T3, … T n − 1 & Tn, and Tn & T1. No other pair ofteams has any player in common. How many players are participating in the tournament, considering all the n teams together?
- (n − 1) (k − 1)
- n (k − 1)
- k (n − 1)
- n (k − 2)

- Let a1 = p and b1 = q, where p and q are positive quantities. Define an = pbn-1, bn = qbn-1, for even n > 1, and an = pan-1, bn = qan-1, for odd n > 1.
- Answer: b
- Which of the following best describes an + bn for even n?
- q (pq) n − 1 (p + q) n
- q (pq) n − 1 (p + q)
- qp n − 1 (p + q)
- q n (p + q)
- q n (p + q) n
- Answer: b
