1> How many 3's will be there in a book having 700 pages ?2> 5 couples in a party .how many ways 4 persons can be seated on a table of 4 chairs such that no two husband wife are on the table ?
1> 240
2>192?

1> 3x +y +z=40 where x ,y,z are +ve integers , no of sol ?2> no distinct rectangles having integral sides such that perimeter is an integer less than 100 cm
2(l+b)
l+b

l+b = 2 -> 1 solution
l+b = 3 -> 1 soution
l+b = 4 -> 2 solutions
l+b = 5 -> 2 solutions
.
.
.
l+b = 48 -> 24 solutions
l+b = 49 -> 24 solutions


total = 2(1+2+...24) = 600 solutions

@amresh_maverick said:
all squares are rectanglesL=1 , B=48 and B=1 , L=48 but we have to find no of distinct rectangles
l=b=49
24
48-24
47-23
36-23

1+2+...+24 *2=600
@amresh_maverick
subtract squares = 1176 - 24 = 1152
remove repetition = 1152/2 =576
add the squares back = 576 + 24 = 600

240.......

2> 5 couples in a party .how many ways 4 persons can be seated on a table of 4 chairs such that no two husband wife are on the table ?
case 1: 1 husband wife are on the table they can be selected in 5 ways.
the remaining 2 people can be selected in 8*6=48 ways so totally 240 ways
case 2: no couple are on the table then 4 persons can be chosen in 10*8*6*4=1920
Now they can be seated in 4! ways so totally 2160*4!?

EDIT:
1920 *4!

though i stuck midway using this approach ,it is really short and refined..
Thanks for clarification...

is question me no two husband wife are on the table ........... it means ki not even one couple is allowed or one couple is allowed...........

1) 3ab -> 100
a3b -> 70
ab3 -> 70

but 333 is counted thrice, hence 240 - 2 = 238 times??

2) 2*5c4 + 2*5c3*5c2 = 210 ways??

EDIT: misunderstood the second question, reworking.

if polygamy is allowed then no couple should be considered

i strongly condemn this.............
how many zeroes are present at the end of 25!+26!+27!+28!+30!?????

5?
@iLoveTorres said:
5?
no bhai...answer 6 diya hai but m getting 7 :/
@pakkapagal said:

25!(1+26+26*27+26*27*28+26*27*28+30)
number of 5 in 25! is 6....
rest will give one more 5 ...
so 7
@pakkapagal said:

25!(1+26+27*26+28*27*26+30*29*28*27*26) = 10^6(xxx05)

so 7 zeros..

25!(1+26+26*27+26*27*28+26*27*28*29+26*27*28+30)number of 5 in 25! is 6....rest will not give any 5...so 6
if you see internal term , it will sum up to unit digit 5
