The highest power of 5 that can divide 100! is 24. This can also be written as 100! = (5^24)*n, where n cannot be divided by 5.The highest power of how many other natural numbers that can divide 100! = (x^24)*n such that n cannot divided by x valid?a. 0 b. 15 c. 22 d. None of these (how many) €‹

ABCDEF is a regular hexagon of side a. P is a point inside the hexagon. If PG, PH, PI, PJ, PK, PL are drawn perpendicular to the sides AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FA, respectively, then the value of PG + PH + PI + PJ + PK + PL is equal to ??


can we consider p as centre ?? as p can be any point inside........

If g(x)= p|x|-qx^2, where p and q are constants at x=0,g(x) will be

a.maximum when p>0,q>0
b.minimum when pc.minimum when p>0,qd.maximum when p>0,q

Remainder when 723^243 + 318^243 is divided by 17 ?
Ans : 9

A two-digit number having distinct digits when divided by the sum of the digits gives the same remainder as when a two-digit number that is formed by reversing the digits of original number is divided by the sum of the digits.

Out of all such possible two-digit numbers, a number is randomly picked. What is the probability that this number is divisible by 4?

3/8 (ans) 5/12 2/7 7/12
