[HELP]

1)[/B].It was a beautiful sunny morning. The air was fresh and a mild wind was blowing against my wind screen. I was driving from Bangalore to Brindavan Gardens. It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete the journey. .After lunch I returned to Bangalore. I drove for 90 minutes. How do you explain it?


2)[/B]. Can you name the smallest integer that can be written with two digits?


3)[/B].There are thirty-four lines that an~ tangent to a circle, and these line$ create regions in the plane. Can you tell how many. of these regions are not enclosed?


4)[/B]. Here is a multiplication:


159 x 48 = 7632


Can you see something peculiar in this multiplication? Yes, all the nine digits are different. How many other similar numbers can you think of?5)[/B]. What is the sum of all numbers between 100 and 1000 which are divisible by 14?

Answers:

1. 1 Hr and 30 min is same as that of 90 minutes

2. I think its 1/1,2/2,.....9/9(check with Shakuntala devi puzzles book)

3. 32 * 2 =68(since every tangent provides 2 point of intersection on the circle boundaries)

4.Check shakuntala devi book

5. 14(8 + 9 +.......+71) sice 14 * 8 =112(above 100 and multiple of 14) and 14*71 =994(below 1000)

Now

use sum of n no.s formula i.e. n(n+1)

----------

= 14( from sum of 1 to 71 subtractthe sum of 1 to 7,since we need the sum from 8 to 71 which is a multiple of 14)

=14 [71(72) - 7(8)]

-------- ------

22

= 14 [ 2556 - 28 ]

=14*2528

=35392(check the values,but I think this method will work out)

just wondering ans to 2nd question can be 0 to the power 1 that wud be 0. don't know this question isin shakuntla aunty!

liked u'r way of sloving 5th question. easy one but many can mess up in this

5)Find the sum of all numbers between 100 and 1000 divisible by 7.

Ans)The numbers divisble by 7 above 100 and below 1000 are
112,126, ...... 994.
Thse r in A.p so a=112 and d=14
Assume it contains n terms, then
112+(n-1)14=994
14(n-1)=994-112
14(n-1)=882
n=64
Sum=(n/2)*(first term+last term)
sum=(64/2)*(112+994)
=32*1106
=35392
