For each natural number k, let C(k) denote the circle with radius k units and centre at origin O, on the circle C(k) a particle moves k centimeters in the counter-clockwise direction. After completing its motion on C(k), particle moves to C(k+1) in the radial direction.The motion of particle continues in this manner.The particle starts at (1,0).If the particle crosses +ve x-axis first time on C(n), then n = ?...

it is easy to see that particle travels 1 radian on each circle..hence for it to cross +ve x axis.. n > 2pi...hence least integer = 7
