This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Cool..!! thats pretty nice.. which course are you gonna opt for ??

Harshvardhan Mehta - 6 years, 2 months ago

I would opt for electronics and communication.And one request. there was a question on finding a particular solution of a differential question and they had not given the value of the function at a particular point.Some of the answer keys( even fiitjee) had given the answer as 2 . Could you please tell me if you can solve it?

Shishir G. - 6 years, 2 months ago

@Shishir G. – I'll try.. btw what was the exact question?? can u post it here?

Harshvardhan Mehta - 6 years, 2 months ago

@Harshvardhan Mehta – Let y(x) be the solution of the differential equation $(x\log { x) } \frac { dy }{ dx } +\quad y\quad =\quad 2x\log { x } ,\quad x\ge 1$ . Then y(e) is equal to : a] 0 b] 2 c] 2e d] e

@Harshvardhan Mehta ,@Mahimn Bhatt

How was the paper ? How much marks are you expecting , plz tell ..

Karan Siwach - 6 years, 2 months ago

I felt that the paper was relatively easier than offline(only a bit)......My paper had almost 2 questions of dimensional analysis which was not expected. I attempted 64(i am not genius like you all) it was just that chemistry troubled me . Otherwise could have attempted more than 70. Also i've attempted the ques which i am sure of.....I would be happy if i get above 230......:(

Mahimn Bhatt - 6 years, 2 months ago

I just choked it all up.. maybe I am gonna take a drop this year.. It wast the worst due to health reasons.. how was yours?

Harshvardhan Mehta - 6 years, 2 months ago

Why do people opt for offline test when the online one provides more advantages? @Harshvardhan Mehta , @Mahimn Bhatt , @Pranjal Jain

Ritu Roy - 6 years, 2 months ago

@Ritu Roy – Nope, not much advantage except for more preparation time and less time consumption while ticking the answer.

Mahimn Bhatt - 6 years, 2 months ago

@Mahimn Bhatt – You can also change your opted answer in nline tests, right? If so, isn't that another huge advantage?

@Mahimn Bhatt and @Harshvardhan Mehta what advantages do the offlline tests provide?

Ritu Roy - 6 years, 2 months ago

Ritu Roy - 6 years, 2 months ago

@Harshvardhan Mehta @Karan Siwach both of you can you please comment on the following question which appeared on 11/4/15 jee.

A particle is moving in circle of radius $r$ under the action of force $F$ = $ar^2$ , which is directed towards centre of the circle.

total mechanical energy (kinetic + potential) energy of the particle (take potential energy=0 when r=0)
