Given x and y are integers and 5x^2 + 2y^2 =5922 , what can be the unit digit of y ?options should be given here3 ,5 ,7 ,9

@saurav205 said: M also getting 6 as a possibility....anyone getting 6?

Yes, I had missed that first time round...recheck pe mila :(

5x^2 will end in 0 or 5. So 2y^2 = 5922 - 5x^2 will end in 7 or 2. Now can't be 7 as even. So 2y^2 ends in 2 and hence y^2 ends in 1 or 6. Hence y ends in 1 or 6 or 9.

dis last question 4 u
There are 'n' students in a class. The average age of a student of this class is 'A' years. Two students left the class and 4 new students joined. Incidentally, the average age of a student in the class, did not change. The sum of the ages of the 6 students (who either left or joined the class) was 72 years. Find the value of A.
a36 years
b24 years
c12 years
d18 years
eData Inadequate

If p=abc and Q=uv are three digits and two digits natural numbers respectively,such that u and v must be distinct integers.How many pairs of P and Q are there in total which gives the same result when we multiply abc with uv as the product of cba with vu?

a.2 b.8 c.5 d.cbd

An - X + Y = An
x- 2people who left
y- 4 people who joined
x= y
I dont know man...
Data inadequate lag raha hai...

abc*uv must be equal to cba*vu

that means a=v and c=u hona chaiye...as far as i can think...

but fir aese toh 36 pairs aa rahe hai -> (132,21); (143,31);...;(891,18)

kya ajeeb sa ho raha hai ye toh kuch.. :(
