Something fishy in this solution plz someone verify this

What in the AI shit is this bro, this is IIMK BMSAT mock 1, question 48. the ai says answer is 3, but the like final answer is option 1. Is afterboards really only for indore man??

i did found many such mistakes,in jipmat mocks,rohtak mocks. like ai is giving answer, and its being copy pasted,

no human is even checking the solution.

i have no idea how we're supposed to answer this, no calculator in rohtak for hit and trial, and options are very close

I'm not getting this solution .

i didn't got the fact abt why we added 2 ?

This is the overly complicated solution on the portal, whereas this question is an AP, where common difference is log(1/rootb) and the sum can be found in 4-5 simple steps using the formula of sum of AP. Now I don't really mind since I could figure this out and didn't rely on the solution here but for students who are unable to solve the question and go to solution for help and find this mess, they are just gonna leave it and think the question is hard. It's not the first time I've come across such overly complicated solution, it happened quite a few time while attempting topic test and I've reported, that is send feedback on how the solution can be better but doing that too is demotivating for me because I don't get updated on my report, if my input was taken into consideration and if the solution was updated.

1. I don’t even know where to start.

I’m an OBC candidate who prepared for IPMAT Indore and Ranchi (didn’t go for Rohtak/JIPMAT). CUET is my backup.

Mocks were going fine. I was consistently scoring around 180, even touched 222 once. I thought I was on track.

But on the actual day… everything just fell apart.

I panicked, messed up my attempts (12/9/34), and walked out not even knowing what my accuracy looks like. Right now, I’m expecting around 160, and I honestly don’t know if that’s enough for Indore.

There’s this tiny bit of hope because I once read about someone converting with 117 marks… but I don’t know if I’m just holding onto false hope at this point.

Academically, I was decent—93.4% in 10th, 94.8% in 12th. Did a few things on the side too—Drona certificate from IIM Indore, SWAYAM course from IIM Bangalore in Financial Accounting.

But none of that feels like it matters right now.

Everything was going smoothly till boards. After that, it’s like nothing has gone my way. I’ve put in 400+ hours on AfterBoards—lectures, vocab, idioms, quants… gave it everything I had this past year.

And now it just feels like… what was the point?

Past 2-3 days was just horrible for me as I have started demeaning myself which I never ever used to doo with myself even in worst cases...

I keep getting stuck on one thought… if I couldn’t compete with 30,000 students, how am I supposed to compete with lakhs of aspirants further...It feels like real hell right now....😞

It was everything for me from past 1-2 years..

And right now, it feels like I might lose it all because of one bad day.

Do I really have a chance for Indore ?

Given that I am a OBC candidate...

I did the theory of ap gp and even practiced a few questions (jee level) but i feel every question in ipmat has a long method (or ig i have learned it without shortcuts) i also solved 2025 pyq all felt like each of them wouldrake like 10 mins to solve like so many cases and caluations

if anyone has have any shortcuts and good notes for revision overall can youll send me

how to tackle these types of questions

I don't understand

Could someone please explain

What if we put 0? It is gonna be not defined.
