Let g(x) be a function such that g(x + 1) + g(x – 1) = g(x) for every real x. Then for what value of p is the relation g(x+p) = g(x) necessarily true for every real x? (1) 5 (2) 3 (3) 2 (4) 6

g(x + 1) + g(x –1) = g(x) g(x+ 2) + g(x) = g(x + 1) Adding these two equations we get g(x + 2) + g(x – 1) = 0 ⇒ g(x + 3) + g(x) = 0 ⇒ g(x + 4) + g(x + 1) = 0 ⇒ g(x + 5) + g(x + 2) = 0 ⇒ g(x + 6) + g(x + 3) = 0 ⇒ g(x + 6) – g(x) = 0

The audiences for crosswords and sudoku, understandably, overlap greatly, but there are differences, too. A crossword attracts a more literary person, while sudoku appeals to a keenly logical mind. Some crossword enthusiasts turn up their noses at sudoku because they feel it lacks depth. A good crossword requires vocabulary, knowledge, mental flexibility and sometimes even a sense of humor to complete. It touches numerous areas of life and provides an “Aha!” or two along the way. Sudoku __________

(1) Sudoku, on the other hand, is just a logical exercise, each one similar to the last.

(2) Sudoku, incidentally, is growing faster in popularity than crosswords, even among the literati.

(3) Sudoku, on the other hand, can be attempted and enjoyed even by children.

(4) Sudoku, however, is not exciting in any sense of the term.

A. Reliance Industries (RIL), India’s largest company, saw its earnings before interest and taxes jump 15 per cent from the first quarter to the second, though net profits grew at a far more modest 2.6 per cent. B. Part of the reason for this was a sharp, 8 per cent-plus fall in its refining margins, down from $8.40 per barrel in Q1 to $7.70 per barrel in Q2. C. For RIL, refining and selling oil and making petrochemicals are not new. Investors understand these businesses and value them realistically. D. This fall happened because the Asian demand — and, therefore, pricing — of lighter fuels like diesel and petrol was under pressure, possibly because most major emerging economies are growing slower than they were before.
