Q1.

Olympiad Geometry: In a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ in 'Number Theory: Primes, Divisibility Rules, Modular Arithmetic and Cryptarithms', the side lengths are $AB = 2, BC = 3, CD = 4, DA = 5$. By Ptolemy's Theorem, the product of diagonals $AC \cdot BD$ is:

(A)

23 ($AC \cdot BD = AB \cdot CD + BC \cdot DA = 2(4) + 3(5) = 8 + 15 = 23$) (Number Theory: Primes, Divisibility Rules, Modular Arithmetic and Cryptarithms)

(B)

20

(C)

26

(D)

Q2.

Algebraic Telescoping: In 'Number Theory: Primes, Divisibility Rules, Modular Arithmetic and Cryptarithms', evaluate the product: $P = \left(1 - \frac{1}{4}\right)\left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right)\left(1 - \frac{1}{16}\right) \dots \left(1 - \frac{1}{100}\right)$:

(A)

$\frac{11}{20}$ (Using identity $1 - \frac{1}{k^2} = \frac{k-1}{k} \cdot \frac{k+1}{k}$) (Number Theory: Primes, Divisibility Rules, Modular Arithmetic and Cryptarithms)

(B)

$\frac{{1}}{{2}}$

(C)

$\frac{{9}}{{20}}$

(D)

$\frac{{19}}{{20}}$
