Ques 122 Gate 2015 Set-2


If p, q, r, s are distinct integers such that:

f(p, q, r, s) = max (p, q, r, s)
g(p, q, r, s) = min (p, q, r, s)
h(p, q, r, s) = remainder of (p × q) / (r × s) if (p × q) > (r × s) OR remainder of (r × s) / (p × q) if (r × s) > (p × q)
Also a function fgh (p, q, r, s) = f(p, q, r, s) × g(p, q, r, s) × h(p, q, r, s).

Also the same operation are valid with two variable functions of the form f(p, q).

What is the value of fg(h(2, 5, 7, 3), 4, 6, 8)?


(8) is the correct answer.

Given functions:
f(p, q, r, s) = max(p, q, r, s)
g(p, q, r, s) = min(p, q, r, s)
h(p, q, r, s) = remainder when larger product is divided by smaller product

We need to find: fg(h(2, 5, 7, 3), 4, 6, 8)

Let me start from the innermost function h(2, 5, 7, 3):
First, calculating the products:
p × q = 2 × 5 = 10
r × s = 7 × 3 = 21

Since (r × s) > (p × q), which means 21 > 10
h(2, 5, 7, 3) = remainder of 21 ÷ 10
h(2, 5, 7, 3) = 1

Now I need to find fg(1, 4, 6, 8):
Here fg means f × g (multiplication of f and g functions)

Calculating f(1, 4, 6, 8):
f(1, 4, 6, 8) = max(1, 4, 6, 8) = 8

Calculating g(1, 4, 6, 8):
g(1, 4, 6, 8) = min(1, 4, 6, 8) = 1

Therefore:
fg(1, 4, 6, 8) = f(1, 4, 6, 8) × g(1, 4, 6, 8)
fg(1, 4, 6, 8) = 8 × 1
fg(1, 4, 6, 8) = 8

Answer: fg(h(2, 5, 7, 3), 4, 6, 8) = 8
