Here, you will find all the questions of ISI Entrance Paper 2017 from Indian Statistical Institute's B.Stat Entrance. You will also get the solutions soon of all the previous year problems.
Problem 1 :
Let the sequence \( \{ a_n\} _{n \ge 1 } \) be defined by $$ a_n = \tan n \theta $$ where \( \tan \theta = 2 \). Show that for all n \( a_n \) is a rational number which can be written with an odd denominator.

Problem 2 :
Consider a circle of radius $6$ as given in the diagram below. Let $B, C, D$ and $E$ be points on the circle such that $BD$ and $CE$, when extended, intersect at $A$. If $AD$ and $AE$ have length $5$ and $4$ respectively, and $DBC$ is a right angle, then show that the length of $BC$ is $$ \frac {12 + 9 \sqrt {15} }{5} $$

2. if $P(1) < i< j$ then $i$ appears before $j$ in $P$
Problem 8 :
Let $k, n$ and $r$ be positive integers.
2. Let $P(x) = b_0 + b_1 x + \cdot + b_r x^r $ be a non-zero polynomial with real coefficients. Let $m$ be the smallest number such that $b_m \neq 0 $. Prove that the graph of $y = P(x) $ cuts the $x$-axis at the origin (i.e. $P$ changes sign at $x = 0$) and only if $m$ is an odd integer.

If i have made a slight calculation error by writing f'1 =-500e and the follow up question as well when the answer doesnt have e, how much will be deducted?
That depends on the process that you have used to solve the problem.
If your process is correct then they will more or less deduct 1-2 marks at max.
Thanks a lot!
