Let S = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , … , 100 } . The number of ways of selecting x ,   y ∈ S such that…

Let S={0,1,2,3,,100}. The number of ways of selecting x, yS such that xy and x+y=100 is
  1. 51
  2. 40
  3. 50
  4. 100

Solution

Given:

S={0,1,2,3,,100}

Now, possible ordered pair x, yS such that xy & x+y=100 are

0, 100, 1, 99, 2, 98, 3, 97,......, 48, 52, 49, 51

Therefore, total number of ways of selecting such pairs is 50.
