i think i got the mistake.N = 2^2 . 5^2 (a+1) (b+1)=> a=1, b=4 (since N has only two prime factors (here 2,5))Thus N=(2^3) . (5^3)=1000Thus answer is 1+0+0+0 = 1@maroof10 pls clarify with ryt answer
sorry guys for all the wrong posts....finally figured it out (i think !!!)
N=(100)(a+1)(b+1)
=>N=2^2 . 5^2 (a+1)(b+1)
Here (a+1) and (b+1) can be any powers of 2 and 5.
lol.. sry it's 2.100=(2^2)*(5^2)2 prime numbers are 2,5N=2^(p+2)5^(q+2)number of factors will be (p+3)(q+3)put p,q different values and check.. works for 2000. p=2,q=1@scrabbler : sir itte sahi hits kaise lagate ho... !!!
Practice makes a man perfect. Women are already perfect.*
And by the time I was doing trial and error I had figured out that (a) the prime are 2 and 5 and (b) their powers must be such that (a+1) and (b+1) must also be powers of 2 and/or 5...uske baad 2nd or 3rd hit and trial gave answer! * I'm only saying that because it's V-day :P
Here's an easy one:The no. of triplets (a,b,c) where a,b,c are positive integers,which satisfy the simultaneous equations (1) ab+bc=44 (2) ac+bc=23 is /are (1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 4 (4) infinitely many

b(a+c) = 44
c(b+a) = 23
either c = 23 & b+a =1( not possible) or c=1, b+a = 23

c(a+b)=23 =>c=1 and a+b=23 Now b(a+c) = 44 =>b(a+1) = 44 So a=22,b=1 or a=1,b=22 hence (2)
