OA 320?
On factorizing 6 and 15, we get 2, 3 and 5 as factors. So eliminate all nos <=1200 that are multiples of 2,3 or 5.
There are 600 multiples of 2, 400 multiples of 3 and 240 multiples of 5. However, you have to add back multiples of 2*3,3*5 and 5*2, which are 200, 80 and 120 in number. Finally, you have to subtract multiples of 2*3*5, which are 40 in number. All this is being done to avoid double counting (set theory).

@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
Let the ages be x and 75 -x x - a = 75 -x => a = 2x - 75, so father's age was equal to son's age 2x-75 years ago At that time, son's age = 75-x -2x + 75 = 150 - 3x x = 8*(150-3x) x = 48 Father = 48 years, Son = 27 years

Let the ages be x and 75 -x
x - a = 75 -x => a = 2x - 75, so father's age was equal to son's age 2x-75 years ago
At that time, son's age = 75-x -2x + 75 = 150 - 3x
x = 8*(150-3x)
x = 48
Father = 48 years, Son = 27 years

x=2 is not a solution, check in the original equation! You can do this question by plotting the numbers 1,3,7 and 22 on a number line. Then |x-a| is basically the absolute value of distance between x and a. Once you have 1,3,7,22 on the number line, then the LHS of the eqn is basically the sum of distances of any point x from 1,3,7 and 22.
Eg if you plot x=2 on the number line, you get the foll distances:
1 unit away from a=1
1 unit away from a=3
5 units away from a=7
20 units away from a=22.
Total distance = 1+1+5+20=27.
It can be observed that for x=3 to x=7, total distance is the same and = 25

@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.

Is the OA 199? I just found the highest power of 22 in 2006! When you convert a number x to base y, you repeatedly divide x by y and note down the remainders. As long as the numbers are divisible by y, you will get zeroes in the end.
@Foster87 said: The number 2006! is written in base 22.How many zeroes are there at the end?? 500 450 200 199..Approach please!!!

it is same as the base 10 case in which we find powers of 5 because 5*2 =10but since it is in base 22 ,we have to find the powers of 11.so,we will have [2006/11]+[2006/121]+[2006/1331]=199 zeroes
it is equivalent to asking power of 22 in 2006! 22=11*2 limiting factor would be 11 on successive division of 2006 by 11 we get 182+16+1=199 so total 199 zeroes

Actually I didn't take this question from a book. I made this question because I face problem with powers of prime in the denominator and I deliberately took the power of 10 as half of Euler of 343. Anyways, 342 is the right answer.
@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.

Yes, now I am convinced. .... All I wanted was the logic to reject 1 as the answer.. Also, 10^147 leaves -1 as the remainder when divided by 7 ( by simple Euler's theorem).
@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

@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
this is same as finding numbers which are co-prime to 2 and 5 and are below 500
=>500*(1-1/2)*(1-1/5)=200
