Solution to question number 67

 

The solution given in explanatory is okey but I calculated it with simple logic

If the three digit number starts with 1 then possible numbers are 108, 117. . . . .180 . . . i.e 1 number in each tenth number (108 in 100-109 | 117 in 110 – 119) and total numbers = 9

Similarly for 3-digit numbers starting with 2 , total numbers =8

. .  . . . . and so on for 3 digit number starting with 8, there is only one possible number i.e. 801

Total numbers = 9 + 8 + 7. . . . + 1 = 45

This won’t take more than 30 seconds

My scores are Section 1

My scores are Section 1 – English  - 48

Section 2 – DI –  32

Section 3 – Quant -  27

Total 107 I think it should be enough to clear the cutoffs

The definition of digital

The definition of digital root was given (if you don’t know what is it - If we add up the digits of a number until there is only one number left we have found what is called the digital root. In other words, the sum of the digits of a number is called its digital root and order of the DR is the number of time the process of adding is done to get the 1 digit number)

Q66. How many three digit numbers have a digital root equal to 6?

Q67. How many three-digit numbers have a digital root equal to 9 with the order 1?

The digital root of any

The digital root of any number n can be calculated as

DR(n) =  n mod (9)    when there is a reminder
       =  9           when the reminder is zero

So question 66 = How many three digit numbers have reminder 6 when divided by 9
and its 105 , 114. . . . . .Total , 900/9 = 100
