Guys plz solve this problem found in XAT paper.

[jaatjaat]

1.Mr xx was binding a book . ne noted all the page numberss in a paper. he found thet the number 3 he came across 61 times. find the number of pages he counted....

[nithin]

is the answer 303 ???

[born2lead]

Can't say for sure unless we see the Options ??


But my guess is 300 pages.
20 three in each hundred after second 300 has one three so 61.

[pendyal]

me too thinks it is 300.
1-100 there are 20 3s and 20 each from 101-200 and 201-299.that makes it 60 from 1-299 with the 61st one being the one in 300.

[Infinite Improbability]

1 - 99 : 20 3s
101 - 199 : 20 3s
201 - 299 : 20 3s
300 - 61st 3.

The general formula seems to be that for a digit n, n00 would be the ((20 * n) + 1) th digit.

Do verify it !!

Namaskar,

1-100:20
101:200:20
201:300:21

Therefore the book has 300 pages.
