Find the least possible value of a+b,where a,b are +ve integers such that 11 divides a+13b and 13 divides a+11b.
yaar ye to 22x33 aa raha hain
I have three kinds of boxes: large, standard and small. I place 11 large boxes on a table. Ileave some of these empty and in each of the others I place 8 standard boxes. Some of thestandard boxes are left empty and in each of the others I place 8 small boxes. All thesmall boxes are empty. Of all the boxes on the table, 102 are now empty. How manyboxes have I used all together?

A) 64 B) 102 C) 115 D) 118 E) one cannot say

a + 13 b = 11p
a + 11b = 13q

2b = 11p - 13q
2a = 169 q - 121p

2(a+b) = 156q - 110p
min a+ b = 23 ?

286 hai
@sauravd2001 said:
@mbajamesbond least possible value wale ka
correct hai 5 it is
@mbajamesbond said:
286 hai
sorry mera matlab 22x13 tha

11x13 + 11x13

=> 286 :)

There are 10 boys in a class. On Saturday an important match will be played in the city.The boys that will go to watch the game will go as one group. If John will go to watch,then Piet will certainly also go. Now the min no. os students has to be 2 with the exception of john and piet.So 1 group can be choosen bywhen 2=10C2 -1Similary when the 3rd friend joins inwhen 3=10C3 - 8C1And so on until the last studentwhen 4=10C4 - 8C2when 5=10C5 - 8C3How many different groups of at least two boys are therethat can go to see the match?when 9 = 10C9 - 8C7
: 10c2 -1 walla explain karna !!!

Its a + b = 5, where a = -1, b = 6

-1 to restrict repeated groups, rest taking 2 out of 10

a, b are +ve numbers as per the question ?
Q> If N be the number of consecutive zeros at the end of the decimal representation of the expression 1! × 2! × 3! × 4! ×............× 99! × 100!.
Find the remainder when N is divided by 1000?

Options: a) 123 b) 124 c) 125 d) None of these

yar dekho u did 10c2 to get 2 ppl, but for 2 people u can only take 1 group naa

(11-x)+(8x-y)+8y=102
=>7y+7x=91
=>x+y=13

115

115 hai kya?

correct i am just restricting the number of those 2 student in the 1st case
@mbajamesbond bhai tere boxes wale ka ans 115 hai kya??pahle yeh bta phir approach bta ta hun
@mbajamesbond bhai dekh 11 large boxes le
phir 2 large boxes mein 8 aur 8 dalde
phir 8 standard mein 64 small boxes ho gaye phir 3 aur stadard mein 24 ho gaye
is tarah khali bane
9large +5 standard +96 small boxes =102 boxes
ab sabko add karle toh
11 l+16s+88s=115 box

1-4 => 0
5-9 -> 5
10-14 -> 10
and so on,

Need to care of multiples of 25, where the series jumps by 10 instead of 5

(5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 30 + 35 + 40 + 45 + 50 + 60 + 65 + 70 + 75 + 80 + 90 + 95 + 100 + 105 + 110 + 24) = Last digit = 4 .. -> b) 124 ?

PS: None of these will be a bad answer .. courtesy: sixth sense :P
