1st 10 unit digits of products add upto 20

2+6+2+0+0+2+6+2+0+0= 20. This then repeats for every 10 numbers. 10 products give 20, so 1000 will give 2000. Remaining 10 can be obtained using the next three products. 1000 + 3

1003 (edited)

XAT Q
I don't know the answer boss..please highlight ur process !!
@staaalinnn 1003
@staaalinnn the last digits are 2 6 2 0 0 2 6 2 0 0...
so 1003 terms..

2+6+2+0+0+2+6+2+0+0=20(10 pairs make 20)

so 1000 pairs make 2000 and add 3 pairs which make 10 more
1003 pairs make 2010

Yup bhai log .. @sauravd2001 , @Anivesh90 I got the answer too.. thanks anyways..

The price of Darjeeling tea (in Rs/Kg) is 100+0.1n on the nth day of 2007 (n = 1,2,.....100) and then remains constant. On the other hand the price of Ooty tea (in Rs/Kg) is 89+0.15n on the nth day of 2007(n = 1,2,.....365)

On which date in 2007 will their prices be equal?

1) May 21
2) April 11
3) May 20
4) June 30

Edited. However, after all the slots it hardly causes any problem. Anyways, not going against NDA :)
