Q1-there exist a 5 digit numb N with distinct and non zero digits such that it equals the sum of all distinct three digit numbers whose digits are all different and are all digits of N .then the sum of the digits of N is necissarily

a-perfect square   b-cube   c even     d none of these

Q2-find the last non zero digit of 96!

a-2   b-4   c-6  d-8

Q3 -what is the digital sum19^100?pls explain the fundas

a-1  b-4   c-7   d-9

Q3. Digital Sum

 

 The digital sum of any number N is the remainder when N is divided by 9.

Reminder of 19100 divided by 9 = 1 

So 1 is the answer

If you dont know what is digital sum then - It is repeated sum of the digits of a number. For example Digital Sum of 235 is 5+3+2=10 ; 1+0 = 1

Asnwer to Q1

Its definitely an even number

but is it a perfect square/cube ?  I think that cant be determined.

Let the 5 digits of the 5-digit number are a, b, c, d and e.

Given that the 5digit numbers is the sum of all distinct three digit numbers whose digits are all different and are all digits of N.
 
Number of 3digit numbers that can formed with 5 distinct digits are 5 x 4 x 3 = 60
 
And Sum of all those numbers =
12 ( 1 + 10 + 100) (a + b + c + d + e)

The last digit of a product

The last digit of a product of few numbers depends upon how many 2’s, 3’s, 5’s and 7’s are in factors of those numbers.

When 5 is multiplied with any number it results 0 or 5 at the end and when 2 is one of the factor then the last digit is always an even number i.e. either 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.

The last non-zero digit of any number (>= 2) ends with 2, 4, 6 and 8.

Here in 96! First we ‘ll try to find out number of 2’s , 3’s , 5’s and 7’s

Number of 2’s = 48 + 24 + 12 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 94

Number of 3’s = 32 + 10 + 3 + 1 = 46

Number of 5’s = 19 + 3 = 22

Number of 7’s = 13 + 1= 14.

In the factorial all the 5’s ll result in zeros at the end so we ‘ll have 22 zeros and thus the number of 2’s that makes the last non-zero number is 94 – 22 = 72

Now lets consider the concept of cyclicity

21 = 2
22 = 4
23 = 8
24 = 6
------
25 = 2
26 = 4
27 = 8
28 = 6

So 2 has a cylicity of 4 and thus 272 would make 6 at the end

31 = 3
32 = 9
33 = 7
34 = 1
------
35 = 3
36 = 9
37 = 7
38 = 1

So 3 has a cylicity of 4 and thus 346 would make 9 at the end

71 = 7
72 = 9
73 = 3
74 = 1
------
75 = 7
76 = 9
77 = 3
78 = 1

So 7 has a cylicity of 4 and thus 714 would make 9 at the end.

The last non zero digit should be the last digit of (9 x 9 x 6) = 6

Digit sum funda...

definition of digit sum is repetitive process of addition of all digits of a number till we get a single digit...

e.g. ds(2442356) = ds(2+4+4+2+3+5+6)= ds(26) = 8

the simplest way to find ds is,find the remainder whn the no. is divided by 9.

e.g. ds(2442356)= R(2442356/9)= 8...

cool isn't it? :-)

working on similar lines...

ds(19^100)= R(19^100/9) = 1

revert me back if u hv any doubt... or reach me at shaheen.csc@gmail.com

regards,
shaheen

@nishit

hi nishit,
why didnt u consider prime numbers after 7?? e.g. 11,13,17?? wont they affect the rightmost non-zero digit ??

regards,
shaheen

@ shaheen12342All the prime
All the prime numbers should contribute to the first non-zero digit.
 So I ‘ve removed the solution
