Answer / guest
Let before adding X stations, total number of tickets
t = N(N-1)
After adding X stations total number of tickets are
t + 46 = (N+X)(N+X-1)
Subtracting 1st from 2nd
46 = (N+X)(N+X-1) - N(N-1)
46 = N2 + NX - N + NX + X2 - X - N2 + N
46 = 2NX + X2 - X
46 = (2N - 1)X + X2
X2 + (2N - 1)X - 46 = 0
Now there are only two possible factors of 46. They are
(46,1) and (23,2)
Case I: (46,1)
2N - 1 = 45
2N = 46
N = 23
And X = 1
Case II: (23,2)
2N - 1 = 21
2N = 22
N = 11
And X = 2
Hence, there are 2 possible answers.

8. Given a collection of points P in the plane , a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a line, .i.e the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). The minimum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 5 points in the plane in general position (.i.e no three points in P lie on a line) is a) 3 b) 5 c) 2

Substitute digits for the letters to make the following Division true Y F Y ----------- A Y | N E L L Y | N L Y ---------------- P P L P N H ---------- N L Y N L Y ---------- 0 0 0 Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, there must be a one-to-one mapping between digits and letters. e.g. if you substitute 3 for the letter N, no other letter can be 3 and all other N in the puzzle must be 3.
A, B and C are three points on a straight line, not necessarily equidistant with B being between A and C. Three semicircles are drawn on the same side of the line with AB, BC and AC as the diameters. BD is perpendicular to the line ABC, and D lies on the semicircle AC. If the funny shaped diagram between the three semicircles has an area of 1000 square cms, find the length of BD.
