V is the natural number below 1000, which has the maximum number of divisors. Find the sum of the digits of V.
2*3*4*5*7 => 32 factors
840 => 12

Aise shi hai? 2^a*3^b*5^c... Max facotrs ke liye a>b>c so 2^8=256 256*3 2^8*3^1 ; Number of factors=9*2=18?@maddy2807 ??
Greater and equal ka sign hoga. Ultimately its also hit n trial

In how many ways can Rs. 18.75 be paid in exactly 85 coins consisting of 50-paisa, 25-paisa and 10-paisa coins?
Three varieties of rice with Cost Price (in Rs./kg) 28, 36 and 45 are mixed in the ratio a : b : c
respectively. It is known that a, b and c are in Geometric Progression where a Price (in Rs./kg) of the mixture becomes 40. What would have been the Cost Price (in Rs./kg) of the
mixture had the three varieties been mixed in the ratio c : a : b?

Choose one honor/number and then choose one card fom the same honor or number.hence, probability=C(13, 1)*C(4, 2)/C(52, 2)=1/17
yaar 13c1 zaara bata na kaise aaya.....4c2 to samjh gaya..
