Total number of 3 digit

Total number of 3 digit numbers = 900
number of digits = 2700

Number of 3's in all three digit numbers :

a. number of 3 digit numbers containg only one 3 - i.e XY3/X3Y/3XY
                       8 x 9 x 3 =216 = number of 3's

b. number of 3 digit numbers containg only two 3 - i.e X33/3X3/33X
                       8 + 9 + 9 = 26   number of 3's = 52

b. number of 3 digit numbers containg three 3 - i.e 333
                       is only 1  number of 3's = 3

Total number of 3 = 271

Required probability = 271/2700

OSO bhai i think u r wrong in first step

3XY=1*9*9=81
X3Y=8*1*9=72
XY3=8*9*1=72

So total number in first case=225

me right or wrong tell me?

Solution to Question 1

Question 1: What is the probability of presence of the digit 3 in a three digit number?

Solution:

Altogether there are 9 x 10 x 10 = 900 three digit numbers.

Case 1: When there is only one three in the number, then the number of such numbers is:

For 3 in the Unit's Place: 8 x 9 x 1 = 72
For 3 in the Ten's Place: 8 x 1 x 9 = 72
For 3 in the Hundred's Place: 1 x 9 x 9 = 81

Hence there are: 225 numbers consisting of only one 3 in them.

Case 2: When there are two threes in the number, then the number of such numbers is:

For 3 in the Unit's and Ten's Place: 8 x 1 x 1 = 8
For 3 in the Ten's and Hundred's Place: 1 x 1 x 9 = 9
For 3 in the Hundred's and Unit's Place: 1 x 9 x 1 = 9

Hence there are: 26 numbers consisting of two threes in them.

Case 3: When there are three threes in the number, then the number of such numbers is only 1 and that is 333.

Hence there are a total of 252 numbers out of 900 numbers consisting of at least one three in them.

Hence the required probability is: 252/900 = 0.28

Thank You

Ravi Raja

Solution To Question 2

Question 2: What is the reminder when 3^33 is divided by 333?

Solution:

First we cancel the common factor 9 from both the numbers and get:

3^31/37

[{(3^5)^6}(3)]/37

= [{(16)^6}(3)]/37

= (2^24)(3)/37

= [{(2^5)^4}(2^4)(3)]/37

= (5^4)(2^4)(3)/37

= (33)(11)/37

= 30

Hence the required remainder is: 30 x 9 = 270

Thak You
