@ vikky..wats gcd :confused: ..give me come clarity on this new concept

Cheers

MK
GCD - Greatest common divider 😃 same as HCF - Highest common factor

Nice thread..! :1eye:
Subscibing the thread....! :)

To start with... I have attempted a sum on some other thread..
it goes like.. find reminder when 1*1+11*11+111*111+.... (11... 1000times)*(1... 1000times) is divided by 100...


Some how I've found it must be 90.... just wanna verify, if i am going the right way.. as i attempted giving it a hit and trial approach.. !
Roll on puys..! 😃

The answer is 80.

For a detailed solution check out this post.

Kindly check out for the solutions on the thread where you found the post before asking for the solution again. There is a high probability that someone will have posted a detailed solution in there.

Here's a problem for starters.

A merchant mixes three varieties of rice (in integral amounts of weight in kgs) costing Rs.20/kg, Rs.24/kg and Rs.30/kg and sells the mixture at a profit of 20% at Rs.30 / kg. How many kgs of the second variety will be in the mixture if 2 kgs of the third variety is there in the mixture?
(1) 1 kg
(2) 5 kgs
(3) 3 kgs
(4) 6 kgs
The answer is 80.

Ok satan... agreed.. ! :thumbsup:

How about if we terminate the series at the 10th one...what should be the answer then..? I did it and found 90.. and generalized it for 1000 terms..! Is this not the right way..? Please do comment on this..!

@Satan:for rice mix problem....

ANS: 5
(Correct me if i am wrong)

let x,y,z be the kgs of rice resp.
so we have, 20x+24y+30(2) = 25(x+y+2)........(1)
(25 bcoz the rice is sold at 20% profit, real price is 25)
so,5x+y = 10....
y=10-5x.....only permissible value of x is 1, otherwise y will be come negative
(assuming x is int)
so y= 5.

If the same series is terminated on 10th term, the solution would become,

Remainder = (1 + 21*9) mod 100 = 190 mod 100 = 90

You can only generalize if you can prove that for the rest of the terms the remainder when divided by 100 is 0.
Here the rest of the terms give a remainder of = 21*990 mod 100 = -10*21 mod 100 = -10 mod 100 = 90

Now, since the remainder for rest of terms when divided by 100 is not 0, the remainder for whole series will become = Remainder(first 10 terms) + Remainder(remaining terms)= 90+90 = 180 mod 100 = 80

Hope that clarifies it.

Hi ..... I found this in numbers LOD2 ... can someone help me out with this one ....

How many zeroes will be there in

1^1 * 2^2 * 3 ^3 ...... 100^100 ?

Hi ..... I found this in numbers LOD2 ... can someone help me out with this one ....

I think the numbeer of 0 will be 1300, a 5 will provide on 0, do 5^5 will provide 5 zeros, for multiple of 25 there is one extra 5 so it will provide one extra zero.

so all 5^5 , 10^10.... will provide 5 + 10 + 20... 100 zeeros, there sum will come out to be, 1050 and then adding extra zeros due to on more multiple of 5 in 25, 50,75 ,100 = 250

hence total zeros will be 1300

is the answer 1220?

Din get what you are tryin to say .... can u please explain once more ASGHAN

Sorry am bad at explaining 😃 , i think this question was solved in offical quant thread.

Anyways if the ans is right i can once again try to explain

yes dude the answer is write .....

I could only reach half the answer and your 5 Power funda i couldnt understand .... itll be great if u can re explain it or gimme the link to the post where the solution is given in the main thread

i dont have the link will try to explain again

See a zero will come by the multiplication of 5*2, i.e one power of 5 and one power of 2 will give one zero, since the number of power of 5 is less that 2, so 5 will decide the max no. of 0

one power of 5 is giving one zero, so 2 power of 5 will give 2 0

i.e multiple of 5^2 =25 are 25 , 50 ,75, 100

so 5^5 will have 5 power of 5, and 25^25 will have 50 similarly 75^75 will have 75*2=150

so %^5 10^ 15^15 will form ap with first ter 5 and last term 100 and comman diff of 5, so add this ul get 1050 after adding, add 25 + 50+ 75 +100 once again as these are the multiple of 25, this comes out to be 250, hence 1050 + 250 =1300

hope its clear now

asghan .... 100 ^ 100 will give 200 zeroes and not 100 as u have stated .... i believe theres some flaw some where

10^10 20 ^20 ,.,..... etc etc

will give

10+20+30+40+50+60+70+80+90+200 = 650

with powers of 5 , there are 5+15..........+95 = 500 powers

so 650 +500 will give 1150 . Now if we are speaking about 25,75 etc , they are already covered in powers of 5 previously .... so i am a lil skeptical bout this ....

please clarify if i have a flawed understanding somewhere

got it !!! my own understanding mistake ! Thanks :rockon:

Hi

How do we proceed with problems in inequalities involving square root. Should we square and proceed.? For eg.

[ (x-2)/(1-2x) ]^1/2 > -1



Thanks

Yes u can square and proceed but b4 that u need to c d domain. for example here (x-2)/(1-2x) >=0 other wise lhs will be undefined. And this gives 1/2(x-2)>(1-2x) =>3x>3 =>x>1 . So our solution will be 1

Hursh wanted to subtract 5 from a number. Unfortunately, he added 5 instead of subtracting. Find the percentage change in result.
a) 300%
b) 66.66%
c) 50%
d) 33.33%
e)Can't be determined.

This might sound simple but please help me out...

in my opinion...we cannot determine d ans...
coz diff is 10 but original no is unknown...
pls correct me if am wrong...

Thnx bhavin...ya dats wat i thought....
but in d book its mentioned as 33.33%....so got confused...!!!
neway i think we cannot find a common answer bcoz the percentage will change with different no.s...
