and new 4-digit number is = n2
then m2 – n2 = 1111 (where, m, n, )
(m + n)(m – n) = 1 × 1111 or 11 × 101
Case - I
m + n = 1111

m = 556
n = 555
But m2 = is a 4-digit number
Case - II

1 x
It has 5 roots let 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 they are 6th roots of unity except unity
Now, P(x12) =1 + x12 + x24 + x36 + x48 + x60 = P(x) Q(x) + R(x)
Here R(x) is a polynomial of maximum degree 4
Put x = 1, 2, .......5
we get
R(1) = 6, R(2) = 6, R(3) = 6, R(4) = 6, R(5) = 6
i.e. R(x) – 6 = 0 has 6 roots
Which contradict that R(x) is maximum of degree 4
So, it is an identity
R(x) = 6

11. (a) In experiment A, ethanol fermentation occurs producing CO2, turning lime water milky. Since acid is
not produced the dye colour does not change.
In experiment B, lactic acid fermentation takes place, which produces acid but does not produce CO2.
Hence dye colour changes to yellow but the lime water does not turn milky.
In experiment C, since the lime water turns milky, ethanol fermentation is occurring. In addition, since
removal of air did not affect the reaction, the fermentation is anaerobic and yeast must be the organism
in the flask.
(b) In RBC’s lactic acid fermentation occurs.
(b) A simple experiment to test the validity of this explanation would be to collect seeds from the plant and
grow them in a plot of land away from the highway or other sources of carbon dioxide coming from the
burning or fossil fuels. Radio-carbon dating of plants growing from these seeds show them as young
plants.
