@somnathbhatta Got it man.. thanks..!!!!
@Logrhythm 65*29*37*63*71*87*85 last 2 digit?

Q
All the numbers of form (9k+1) ,(9k+2),(9k+3),(9k+4) and 1 number of 9k form can be taken.

We just need to count now.
So, 333 + 334 + 333 + 333 + 1 = 1334 numbers.

EDITED : Including 1 and 3000 => 1336 Numbers. :splat:

Ans given is 1336

Q
1332?? 9k+1 ,9k+2,9k+3,9k+4... 9k+4 are the four numbers to be in subset...now 9k+4 1332+4 =1336

Keep reducing N.

65*29*37*63*71*87*85
Multiplying each of the last two terms in short and keeping the last two digits -
25*23*27*63
75*21 = 75.

To keep it short, the given N has two numbers ending with 5. So, 25 should be the last two digits. :)

Q
9n+1 form - 10,....,2998 -> (2998-10)/9 + 1 = 333 terms
9n+2 form - 2,11,....,2999 -> (2999-1)/9 + 1 = 334 terms
9n+3 form - 3,12,...,2991 -> (2991-1)/9 + 1 = 333 terms
9n+4 form - 4,13,...,2992 -> (2992-1)/9 + 1 = 333 terms
now we can't take 9n+5 as (9n+5)+(9n+4) would make 9k form
but we can throw in a 9n form number.
hence total = 333*3 + 334 + 1 = 999 + 334 + 1 = 1334

Q
NUMBERS can be of the form 9k+1, 9k+2, 9k+3.... 9k+8

we can take 9k+1, 9k +2, 9k+3, 9k+4 nos..

9k+1 = > total 334 nos...

9k+2 => total 334 nos

9k+3 => total 334 nos

9k+4 => total 333 nos

and one no of the form 9k.

total 1336 nos

65 has a 5, 85 also has a 5 which makes a 25

the bold part i got sir..
how u reduced it to 45*21*71*35..plz explain..
@Estallar12 said:
Any explanation ?Have done it a lot many times. I remember 1334.
I ll upload ANS

the question says "between" 1 and 3000, you have included them while counting. common mistake 😃

Woh method chodho.

Short waala explanation hi dekh lo. :splat:

not always.....for example 25*3=75,25*7=175

yeah... thanks.. but i did notice it.. but then options indicate that 3000 has to be included.. so I included.... lol
