this is a ten digit number,starting from the left the first digit is divisible by 1, first two digits are divisible by 2(ex. 12), first 3 digits are divisible by 3(ex 126)....and so on till the 10 digit number is divisible by 10.
you can use any digit from 0-9 only once.
it took me one hour to solve this(ya i'm that bad at quant  ... how fast can you answer this? | | | | | | | |

Nice problem, it was mindboggling but I enjoyed every bit of it.
I'm not sure if there are other such no.s, if yes then do let me know.
My approach:
Let the face value notation be abcdefghij
so j=0, e=5 obvious. Some of digits 0-9 is 45 which is multiple of 9 so we'll find other no.s and 'i' will be the left one,as it satisfies its property inherently.
b,d,f,h should be even
so a,c,g,i should be odd.
as c is odd so d can be either 2 or 6(abcd%4=0)
similarly h can be 2 or 6.
b,f can be hence 4,8.
Now after hit and trial I got the above answer.
Notice the sequence in no.s 1-4-7-2-5-8-3-6-9-0. Beautiful, isn't it? | | | | | | | |

Correct answer would be 3-2-1-6-5-4-7-2-9-0 | | | | | | | |

oh that was a typical typo its
3-8-1-6-5-4-7-2-9-0
well i was thinking about the divisibility of 2 and wrote 2 instead of 8. Silly of me | | | | | | | |

Looks like u have forgotten that u can use every number only once from 0-9.
Hope u regain ur senses and read the previous posts before posting something......

it took me one hour to solve this(ya i'm that bad at quant  ... how fast can you answer this?  | first of all this number should start with 9 and end with 0(think why)........and by the way i have found one such number......with little logic and little guesswork.....and i have a hunch that there should be more than one numbers of this kind....one i have found is this 9678345120 | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
