@pagalaadmi said: Two cars A and B start simulatneously from points P and Q respectively towards each other. At a certain point R, the speed of car A decreases by 1/3. It then meets B at point S. Where SQ=2PR. If the speed of S had become1/3 less at the mid point of RS, the cars would have met at T where ST = PR/4. Find the ratio of RS/PR? options A)6:1 B)8:1 C)5:1 D)10:1

@YouMadFellow said: You need to cut the cube in an incline. Imagine a cube ABCDPQRS (ABCD being the top face, and PQRS the bottom face, P is below A and so on). Now, imagine a line joining the midpoint of AP and CR. (It will pass through the body of the cube) Initially, the cube was perpendicular to the surface. Now, tilt the cube about this line by some degree (say 45). Then cut the cube with a perpendicular line passing through the mid-point of A-B and B-C. You will get a hexagon. Don't know why I am getting (3*root(3))/4

its still not clear hexagon nai ban rha :(

@YouMadFellow said: Total 5 digit numbers = 10^5 - 10^4 = 90000Now, 5 digit numbers which don't contain 1,2,3 are 6*10^4So, 90000-60000 = 30000 contain at least one 1, one 2, one 3

@WildDreamer said: A milkman has six cans, each containing 10 litres of milk, of concentrations 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 70% and 80% respectively. If he mixed milk from exactly three of the cans to form one litre of milk of exactly 50% concentration, in how many ways could he have selected the three cans?(1) 14 (2) 15 (3) 16 (4) 17

The concentration of the milks are 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, 80.

Now to make 50% milk solution, you have to make sure that not all the three are less than or more than 50%.

a) One of the solutions is 20%, then the remaining two mixtures can be taken as, one of 30 or 40 => 2 ways and one of 70 or 80 => 2 ways so total 2*2 = 4ways.

Or, the 2nd mixture can be 50% and for 3rd one we can take from 70 or 80 => 2 ways.

Also we could take the remaining two mixtures as 70 and 80 both => 1 way.

=> Total of 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 ways.

b) Similarly with 30% mixture, one can be 40% and the third one can be either of 70 and 80 => 2 ways

Or, One can be 50 and the third one can be either of 70 and 80 => 2 ways.

Or, we could take the remaining two mixtures as 70 and 80 both => 1 way.

=> Total of 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 ways.

c) With 40% mixture => 2 + 1 = 3 ways

=> Total 7 + 5 + 3 = 15 ways., Option B)

A milkman has six cans, each containing 10 litres of milk, of concentrations 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 70% and 80% respectively. If he mixed milk from exactly three of the cans to form one litre of milk of exactly 50% concentration, in how many ways could he have selected the three cans?

(1) 14

@YouMadFellow said: Yah there is a flaw. You are finding the remainder of 10^147 divided by 7 and cubing it to find the remainder of 10^147 divided 7^3.. this is not true. 342 is the right answer.

ya correct

@Foster87 said:For how many values of natural no A,where A<500,is the HCF of A and 2500 equal to 1? 400 200 100 50

2500=(2^2) (5^4)

now less den 500

so all even numbrs shud b excluded,(as 2 is a commn fctr )

so 250 numbrs

now

odd multiples of 5(evn multiples we hav included in 2)

total odd=50

so hcf(10=250-50=200

@Enceladus said: Bhai coz this is actually 10^147*10^147. If we say 1. then we would go back to the original question,ie, 10^147 mod 343. Hence, 342.

@YouMadFellow said: How did you get it ? I don't have OA

@Angadbir said: You'll have to apply a different approach. (10^147 * 10^147) mod 343 = 1 10^147mod343 = +/-1 If 10^147mod343 = 1then 10^147 = 343k + 1That means 343k = 9999.... 147 timesHere, LHS is divisible by 7, but not RHSSeries of 147 9s cannot be divisible by 7 (Divisibility of 7 can be checked by subtracting alternate triplets. Here we have odd no. of triplets of '999's) So therefore 343k can never result in a seiries of 147 9s for a whole no. k.Thus, 10^147mod343 cannot be 1 Thus, 10^147mod343 = -1

Yes, now I am convinced. .... All I wanted was the logic to reject 1 as the answer..

@Foster87 said: Mee too got 200...ans not given though... MY APPROACH:multiples of 2 in the 1st 500 no's=250. multiples of 5 in the 1st 500 no's=100. multiples of 10 in the 1st 500 no's=50. hence 250+100-50=300 no's are divisible by either 2 0r 5..Thus 500-300=200 no's which are less than 500 are co-prime to 2500
