evry number from 5 onwards will hav a 0 in its factorial...so the units digit can be calculated by adding up the factorial for the first 4 numbers
so it is 1+2+6+24=33

so units digit is 3

# From the first 20 natural numbers, a combination of 3 distinct numbers is selected and then arranged in ascending order.How many such combinations can be picked so that the average of the extreme numbers gives the middle element ?

here number from 1 to 20

average so extreme number definitely divided by 3

possible number 3,6,9,12,15,18

3 not possible
6 combination 126
9 combination 139/239
12 combination 1,4,12/2,4,12/3,4,12

same for 15 & 18

so total combination 5*6/2=15

ans) i think that here "average of the extreme numbers " means (max+min)/2

based on that

thought process: the average of two nos. will always lie exactly between them. in other words the two extreme numbers can be represented as " n+x " and " n-x" where n is the middle element.

so for 1,2...20.
max value of x is 9, thus possibl combo are 11(+-)9 and 10(+-)9
for x=8,posib combo is 12,11,10,9(+-
similarly for x=2 there are 18 possib combo.(19,18..2)+-(1)
thus total possible combination is 2+4+6...+18=2*(1+2+...9)
=90 possible combo

sorry puys in last post for x=8,posib combo is 12,11,10,9(+- ) 8 should be there in place of the smiley with goggles..

There are five number of issues . So any one issue cud be selected in two ways i.e. is either PRESENT or ABSENT in any voter's choice. So total no. of different regions in venn diagram will be 2^5 = 32.

i am not sure but here intersection of 4 circles

because 5th issue(no vote) out side of region

so inner region inside venn diagram=2^4 and 1 outside

so and is 17

Any 3 points in 3-D makes a plane. 15 points wud have made 15C3 planes had no 4 points been in the same plane. But here 5 points are given to be in the same plane, so, we have to deduct 5C3 from the total number of planes. So the required answr is 15C3 - 5C3 + 1 = 446

Let us take two lines

--*--------*--------*--------*-------*------
A B C D E

--*--------*--------*--------*-------*------
P Q R S T


When A is joined to all P,Q,R,S,T 5 line segments are made
secondly when B is connected to all these five points BT wil not intesect ne line
BP will account for 4 intersection points
similarly,BQ will account for 3 intersection point
BR will account for 2 intersection point
BS will account for 1 intersection point

i.e (4+3+2+1) points till now
for CP,CQ,CR,CS,CT we have (8+6+4+2) pts resp.
so on....

total points = 1+2+3+4+8+6+4+2+12+9+6+3+16+12+8+4
=(1+2+3+4)(1+2+3+4)
=10*10=100

hence 100 intesection pts in all

Did i get it right..??
