@karan20

Can you tell the approach !

@karan20 Can you explain your approach for even and odd consecutive numbers?

What are last 2 digits of 32^222 ?

24?
32^2*32^220
(1024)(2^10)^22
(24)(24)^22
(24)(76)
24

Last 2 digits of 32 ^222 => 7^222%25 = 7^2 %25 =
24

76 * 32 *32 which is eventually 76 *2^10 which is last two digit of 2^10,, so 24

No. of ways N can be written as sum of 2 or more consecutive nos. = ( no. of odd factors of N ) -

200 = 5^2 x 2^3

No. of odd factors = 3

There fore NO. of ways 200 can be written as sum of consecutive nos. = 2
Consecutive odd nos. = 3 ( 47-53, 99-101, 1-21 )

Consecutive even nos. = 1 ( 18-32 ) { 4 nos. on either of 25 }

wats d OA?

14 is correct

In how many ways 200 can be represented as

1. sum of consecutive numbers
2. Sum of consecutive even numbers
3.Sum of consecutive odd numbers
200=2*4*25=2^3*5^2
1)No. of odd factors=3
So ans=2
2)100=2^2*5^2
represent 100 as a sum of +ve integers and multiply by 2 both sides to represent 200 as a sum of even natural numbers.
3)There shld ve even no. of odd numbers
Let them be 2k-m + 2k-(m-2) + ........2k-1 + 2k+1 + 2k+3 +.........2k+m=2k(m+1)=200
or, k(m+1)=100=2^2*5^2
k=25,m=3
k=50,m=1
k=10,m=9

Post your approach. It will be useful for puys who dont know approach

Find no. of zeroes to right of decimal if log value is -2.301?
Find the numbers of Zeroes in 1!*2!*3!............100!

1124?

5!-9! =1 zero each,10!-14!=>2 each...20!-24! 4 each and 25!-29! 6 each There is jump of 1 zero because extra 5 is added. Similarly calc upto 100! with care when multiples of 25 occur like 50,75,100.. Total =1124 zeroes

N! is completely divisible by 13^52.what is sum of the digits of the smallest such number N
first number where u get a 13 is 13 ! let x be the number which gets us 52 13's..

51 th number will fetch us 52 13's but 169 has two 13's... so its 49*13 = 637

(2^5)^222 = (2^10)^111= (2^10)^(odd number) = 24

Similar question: how many zeros are there at the end of
1 x 1! + 2 x 2! + 3 x 3! + 4 x 4! + . . . + 100 x 100! ?


Hint: write n as n+1-1 :)
