another no sys q from nishit sinha

this is the question:

Q. (5 on base N) multiplied by (6 on base N) = (3A on base N), where A is the unit digit of the two digit no. 3A.

How many values of N are possible?

N can either be 8, 9 and 10

N can either be 8, 9 and 10
Possible values 3

Hey Devi, iska explanation

Hey Devi, iska explanation to batao ?

explanation !!!!

(5 on base 8) multiplied by (6 on base 8) = (36 on base 8)
(5 on base 9) multiplied by (6 on base 9) = (33 on base 8)
(5 on base 10) multiplied by (6 on base 10) = (30 on base 8)

N = 3

i am also following the same

i am also following the same book
i do not think 7 is possible becoz in that case the value of A will be 9 that is not possible

Solution

(5)N x (6)N = (3A)N

Converting everything into the decimal notation, we get:

5 x 6 = 3N + A
or, 3N = 30 – A
or, N = (30 – A)/3 ---------- (1)

Now, A being the digit of a number, the possible values that A can take are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Also it is clear from equation (1) that A has to be divisible by 3. Hence now the possible values of A are 0, 3, 6 and 9. In that case, the corresponding values for N are 10, 9, 8 and 7 respectively.

But since the base is N and A is the digit of a number written in base N, A has to be less than N. Hence A can take values 0, 3 and 6 only and corresponding to each of these values of A, we can get three different values for N.

Thus there are 3 values of N satisfying the given conditions of the problem.

Thank You.

another q A no. N is having

This comment has been moved here.

  A no. 2N is having 28

 

A no. 2N is having 28 factors and 3N is haing 30 factors. How many factors will 6N have?

(2N is 2 multiplied by N and similarly)

 

p;z solve this nishit sinha q

nishit sinha number system q

plz solve

 

What is the remainder when 7777777 ........upto 56 times is divided by 19

cool solution......

there is a funda...if 1's are are repeated n-1 no. of times where n is a prime number greater than 5,it is divisble by n.
e.g. 111111(6 times)%7 = 0
111111111111(12 times) % 13 = 0.

working on similar lines....

7777777 ........upto 56 times % 19
=7*(11111 ........upto 56 times)%19

now 11111 ........upto 18 times will be divisible by 19
so will be 11111 ........upto 36 times
n 11111 ........upto 54 times
7*(11111 ........upto 54 times x 100 + 11)%19
7*(11111 ........upto 54 times x 100 will be divisible by 19
so remainder is 77%19 = 1
