8 ??

(1! + 2! + 3!) mod 4 = 1

[3^(4k + 1) + 8^(4k + 1) + 7^(4k + 1)] mod 4
=> (3 + 8 + 7) mod 4 = 2

50 meter Apart ????

8?

50 is correct


Is there an integer with the property that if you cross out its first digit, it decreased by 36 times?

Sir, 3^(4k+1) + (-3)^(4k+1) + 8^(4k+1) mod 4 = 8^(4k+1) = 8

I did like this, then why is the answer different?? :(

you need to divide 17 by 10 not by 4 for unit digit

Let speed = x and distance between poles = y
Then, x = xy/ 3/60
=> y = 1/20 km = 50 mtrs
72 is correct for last one

In a natural number a the digits were swapped round (put in different order), after which the number decreased by 3 times. (was 3 times less then the original) . initial number is divisible by

I - 9
II - 27
III - 15

a) only I
b) I and II
c) only III
d) I , II and III

72 & 720 ??
Find a,b and c if the number "abc" in base 5 is equal to the number "cba" in base 8.

what should be the general term for it ?

331?

25a + 5b + c = 64c + 8b + a
24a = 63c + 3b
8a = 21c + b
b = 3
c = 1
a = 3

abc = 331

a=3=b, c=1 ?

b?

142857 * 3 = 428571
428571 is divisible by 27

36(10x+y) = 700+10x+y
360x+36y-10x-y =700
350x+35y=700
70x+7y=140
X=2 Y=0 Satisfy
So 36*20
36*200
36*2000
36*20000 and so on......

Sir, thoda bhot general term aya hai..
Let the 1st digit of no be "x" and rest of the no be "y"
For ex:- In 245, x=2 and y=45

So, according to question;
10^n*x + y = 36y
=> 10^n * x= 35*y
So, x = 35y/10^n
We can put values of n=1,2...and so on and check what is possible value of y such that a is less than 9 and an integer.
Also from here we can see that x can only be 7...
