Find the digit sum of the number (ab3cdefghi1)^43, where a, b…. h and i are nine distinct single digit natural numbers. (Digit sum of 926 = 9 + 2 + 6 = 17 = 1 + 7 = 8

Is 43 the base or should be multiplied by ab3.....

It will be remainder by 9
(9+4)^43 mod 9
So 4.

Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.
545 containers were shifted by a certain number of men and the job took 5 working days to complete.
Everyday after the first day 6 more men were put on the job as a result of which each man had to shift 5 fewer containers than what he shifted on the previous day.
What was the total number of containers shifted on the 3rd day?

Let on the third day the number of men be x and they shift y containers per day
By statements
(X-12)(y+10)+(x-6)(y+5)+xy+(X+6)(y-5)+(x+12)(y-10)=545
Or 5xy-300=545
Xy=845/5
= 169
