i am not convinced about the solution sir..

@ all OA!


Solution:-

@pavimai said:
can you share your approach
speed be n
now when m has travelled 27 n have covered
27- (27n/45)
now as n makes her speed twice so n catches m this means 2n>m
(27- (27n/45))/2n-45 = 6
n comes out as 23.5xx

N = 0.abababababa..
99N = ab

N = ab/99

Denom = 99 = 3^2*11
No of diff ways =3, 9, 11, 33 and 99
5 ways ?..

5

x= 0.abab...
100x = ab.abab...
subtract both eqns
99x = ab
x= ab/99

5 values can be.. 9,11,3,33
,99

why is 11 not getting counted ?
