Let N is an integer less then 100 which has maximum number of factors. Find the sum of all possible values of N. Approch?

A took out his new bike for a test ride. At 9 am, he arrived ata milestone that showed three digit number. At 10 am he arrived at a second milestone that showed a 2 digit number and both the digitss were also there in the number on the first milestone. At 11 am, he arrived at a third milestone that showed the reverse of the second number. The sum of all the digits in all 3 numbers was the same. A was travelling at uniform speed throughout in the same direction. The numbers on the milestones indicate the distance to the nearest town in kilometers.

What was the speed at which A travelled?

What was the ratio of the tens digit to the units digit in the number on the second milestone?

##silly _pointers## notes ## formula  

IxI +  IyI= N

total no of integral solutions = 4 *N

IxI  +IyI  +Iz|= N

total no of integral solutions = 4N^2 +2


IxI  +IyI  +Iz|= 0   only one solution 

IxI  +IyI  +Iz|=  -N(-ve)  No solution


x^2 - y^2 =N( 4k+2  form)    zero solutions 

x^2 +y^2 less than equal toN  = 2N^2 +2N +1  soltuions

A) 0 B) 1 c) 2 D) Infinitely many

Do mention the approach too.

    There are three numbers a,b, c such that HCF (a, b) = l, HCF (b, c) = m and HCF (c, a) = n. HCF (l, m) = HCF (l, n) = HCF (n, m) = 1. Find LCM of a, b, c.

Find tne sum of all tne real roots of the equation

 (3-x)^5 + (x-5)^5 = -32 ?

Do Mention the approach too. Thanks.
