10>A man purchases a cow for Rs.3000 and sold it on the same day allowing the
buyer a credit of 2 years. If the buyer will pay Rs.3600 after 2 year at a rate of
simple interest 50/7 % per annum, then the man has a gain of

value of Rs3000 after 2 years at 50/7 % S.I will be = 3000 + (3000*2*50/7)/100

= 3000 + 428.57
= 3428.57

therefore C.P of article after 2 years will be Rs 3428.57

but the buyer pays Rs 3600

therefore gain = 3600-3428.57 = Rs 171.43

19>odd one out

5,15,30,135,405,1215,3645

Ans is 30(3 rd term)

first term 5
second term 5*3=15
third term 15*3=45 so there should be 45 instead of 30
fourth term 45*3=135
fifth term 135*3=405
sixth term 405*3=1215
sevnth term 1215*3=3645
so odd one is 30, there should be 45 instead of 30.

2, 10, 26, 50........................

if we observe pattern
2nd number is (8*1)+2
3rd number is (8*2)+(8*1)+2
4th number is (8*3)+(8*2)+(8*1)+2
hence 9th number is (8*8)+(8*7)+...+(8*2)+(8*1)+2
=8(8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1)+2
=8((8*9)/2)+2 (sum of n numbers)
=288+2
=290
99th number is (8*98)+(8*97)+(8*96)+...+(8*2)+(8*1)+2
=8(98+97+96+...+2+1)+2
=8((98*97)/2)+2
=38808+2
=38810
9th number is 290 & 99th number is 38810

I will do it via common difference are in ap series method.

Before 9th term there will be 8 common differences

Sum of them will be

8/2[16+56]=288

So 9th term = 288+1st term(2) =290

birthday come in year 2064

2064-2004=60 years
No.of leap years in 60years=60/4=15
15 leap years and 45 non leap years in the span of 60 years.
after 1 year 1 day is added.
so after 45 years 45 more days will be added.

after 1 leap year 2 days are added, so after 15 leap years 30 days are added.

total no.of days are 45+30=75

No.of days in a week=7

therefor 75%7 =5
Hence 5 days after Monday is your answer. i.e Saturday.

53>Eesha has a wheat business. She purchases wheat from a local wholesaler of a
particular cost per pound. The price of the wheat of her stores is $3 per kg. Her
faulty spring balance reads 0.9 kg for a KG. Also in the festival season, she gives a
10% discount on the wheat. She found that she made neither a profit nor a loss in
the festival season. At what price did Eesha purchase the wheat from the
wholesaler ?
Faulty spring balance reads 0.9 kg for a kg" means that she sells 1 kg for the price
of 0.9 kgs, so she looses 10% of the price because of the faulty spring balance. She
looses another 10% because of the discount.
So, she actually sells 1 kg for $30.90.9=$2.43 and since at that price she made
neither a profit nor a loss, then Eesha purchase the wheat from the wholesaler for
$2.43.

The fourteen digits of a credit card are to be written as shown above. If the sum of
every three consecutive digits is 18, then the value of y is :
a. 3
b. cannot be determined from the given information.
c. 2
d. 1

Ans : A
Explanation:
Let us assume right most two X are a , b
Then Sum of all the digits = 18 x 4 + a + b .......... (1)
Also Sum of the X before 7 = 18
Sum of the X between 7 & y = 18
and sum of the X between y & 8 = 18
So Sum of the 14 digit = 18 + 7 + 18 + y + 18 + 8 + a + b .....(2)
Equating 1 and 2 we get y = 3

59>Mark told John "If you give me half your money I will have Rs.75. John said, "if
you give me one third of your money, I will have Rs.75/- How much money did
John have ?
a. 45
b. 60
c. 48
d. 37.5

Ans-B
Explanation: Let the money with Mark and John are M and J respectively.
Now
M + J/2 = 75
M/3 + J = 75
Solving we get M = 45, and J = 60.

60>how many prime numbers less that 100 and greater than 3 are of the
form:4x+1 , 5y-1

all the prime numbers between 3 and 100

are:5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73, 79, 83, 89 and 97
numbers must end with 4 or 9 to follow 5y-1 condition.
so the numbers are:29,89
so there are two numbers.

61>sum of the digits in the product (16^100)*(125^135)

(16^100)*(125^135) = ((2^4)^100)*((5^3)^135) = (2^400) * (5^405)

(2^400)*{(5^400)*(5^5)} = (10^400)*(3125) = 312500000......(400 times)
so the sum of the digits are 3+1+2+5 = 11

62>in a school there are 60% girls.35 % of them are poor.what is the probability
that apoor girl is selected as shool head?

probability of selecting a girl= 60/100 = 0.6

assume that the rate of consumption of coal by a locomotive engine varies as the
square of speed and is 1000 kg per hour when the speed is 60 km per hour, when
in motion. if coal costs the railway company Rs 15 per 100 kg and if the other
expenses of running the train is Rs 12 per hour. find the formula for the cost in
paise per km when the speed is S km per hour:
a)(1200/s) + (25 S/6)
b) none of these
c)(1200/S) +(5 S^ 2/18)
d)(1200/S)+(25 S^2/6)

given coal_consumption/hour proportional to speed^2.

Hence coal_consumption/hour = k.(speed^2)
dividing both sides by speed => coal consumption/km=k*speed
k=5/18 ( found out by given condition of 1000=k.(60)^2 )
k*speed*1500/100=(25*Speed)/6 (i)
and 1200/s = Other expenses per km. (ii)

Adding i and ii , answer is option A !

( time/speed always yields distance )

75>in how many ways can 7 different objects be dived among 3 persons so that
either one or two of them do not get any objct?
options
381
180
36
84

case 1: when one of them do not get any object, then the objects will be divided
among 2 persons.
no. of ways to select 2 persons= 3c2.
no. of ways to divide 7 objects among 2 persons= 2^7.
so required no. of ways= 3c2(2^7-2) = 378 [when none of them get any object]

case 2: when objects are given to only one person.

reqd. no. of ways= 3c1 =3.
so, total no. of ways = 378+3 = 381

76>J is faster than P. J and P each walk 24 km. Sum ofthe speeds of J and P is 7
kmph. Sum of time taken by them is 14 hours. Then J speed is equal to

let j's speed is x then p's speed would be 7-x.

and given,
sum of time taken by them is 14 hours
=>(24/x)+(24/(7-x)=14
=>x=4,3
therefore j's speed will be 4 as j walks faster than p.

77>Given that x, y, z, p, q, r are all positive quantities, also xp, yq, zr are distinct.

calculate the value of x : y : z.

Answer is 1/r : 1/q : 1/p

in general if a,b,c,d are in AP then 1/a,1/b,1/c,1/d are all in HP.

so here 1/x,1/y,1/z are in HP.
1/x=p, x=1/p
1/y=q, y=1/q
1/z=r,z=1/r

78>A and B are running around a circular track of length

120 meters with speeds 12 m/s and 6 m/s in the same

direction. When will they meet for the first time?

A will complete one round in 120/12 =10 secs. B will complete 1 round in
120/6=20 secs. The LCM of these two timings (i.e.10 and 20) is 20 secs. hence
both will meet for the first time after 20 secs.

the diffrence between there speeds 12 m/s - 6 m/s = 6 m/s

6 m/s is the relative speed between them

t=distance/relative speed
t=120m/(12-6)m/s
t=20 m/s ---ans

F said "I finished 1st"
G said "I finished 4th"
If there were no ties and exactly 3 children told the truth, when who finishes 4th?
a) A
b) E
c) F
d) G

ans is G
let us assume one by one
let A is lying.. but if so he is either 1st or 4th.but then either F is also lying ang G is
also lying. that can't be true as 3 of them r saying trut. so A is saying truth.
Now if E is lying he is 4th. but G is saying he is 4th since both can't lie at same time
E is also saying truth
now If G is lying then person that comes 4th is F as A and E r saying truth but F is
saying he is first so both can't lie so G is also saying truth. F is lying.

81>A basket contains 6 red balls, 5 blue balls, 4 green balls and 3 white balls. Five
balls are to be drawn together at random, then what is the probability that there is
at least a ball of each colour?
A10/51
B5/51
C10/17
D5/17

there are total 5 balls selected and we have to select at least one from each color,
that leaves that the remaining ball can be of either of 4 colors
there will be 4 cases
case 1 : last ball is red
6c2*5c1*4c1*3c1
case 2 : blue
6c1*5c2*4c1*3c1
and this will go like this for rest 2 cases

now we can select 5 balls from 18 in 18c5 ways

so the required probability will be
(6c2*5c1*4c1*3c1 + 6c1*5c2*4c1*3c1 + 6c1*5c1*4c2*3c1 +
6c1*5c1*4c1*3c2)/18c5

82>A rectangular field is 300 feet wide and 400 feet long. Random sampling
indicates that there are, on the average, three ants per square inch throughout the
field. [ 12 inches = 1 foot. ]Of the following, the number that most closely
approximates the number of ants in the filed is: [DCRU]
A. 500000
B. 50 Million
C. 500 Million
D. 5 Million

Rectangle area : Length X Breadth

Length=400 , Breadth=300

So, area in sq.feet is 400 x 300 = 120000

Ants per inch = 3

we have to convert area into sq.inches..

Area in sq.inches is 120000 x 12 x 12= 17280000

No. of ants in the field is 17280000 x 3 = 51840000 (approx. 50 million)

83>What is the remainder when 121212.......(300) digits is divided by 99.

Option - 18, 36, 72, 0.

1stly see the example------------
What is the remainder when the number 1234567 is divided by 99?

The we first start from the right hand side of the number taking two digits at a time
and find their sum.

So, we get: 67 + 45 + 23 + 01 = 136.

Now, when 136 is divided by 99, the remainder is 37.

So, the remainder when 1234567 is divided by 99, the remainder is 37.
now ......
We use the similar method for finding the remainder when the number
121212......300 times is divided by 99.

Note that if we take two digits at a time, starting from the right hand side, then
everytime we will get the number 12 and since the given number is a 300 digit
number, 12 will be added 150 times and so the sum obtained will be (12) * (150) =
1800 and this number, when divided by 99, the remainder will be 18, which is the
required remainder.

Hence, when the number 1212121212 ............. 121212 (300 times) is divided by
99, the remainder is 18.

84>A person brought two clocks. the cost price of one of them exceeds the cost of
the other by 1/4th. he sold the dearer one at a gain of 10% an the other at a gain
of 7.5% and thus got rs 98 in all as S.P. Find the cost Price of the cheaper one.

let the cp of cheaper one is x then cp of second is x+x*1/4=5x/4

110*5x/*100+107.5*x/100=98
1.375x+1.075x=98
x=98/2.45
x=40
so cost price of cheaper one is Rs 40

6 months hence. If they decide to settle their accounts forthwith by payment of
ready money and the rate of interest be 6% per annum, then who should pay and
how much.

we are given here the present worth of A and B.

present worth(P.W) is the total amount to be paid i.e (SI+Principal)
So Case 1:In case of A
PW=1120,so SI=1120-Principal..now calculate the principal from eq of SI i.e
1120-P=(P*6*2)/100,s0
P in case of A is 1000.

similarily,P in case of B is 1050..

so B must pay rs.50 to A

100>The sum of first 40 terms 1,6, 7,12, 13,20 . ?

Observing the sequence 1, 6, 7, 13, 20, 33, and so on,

It can be re-written as 1, (1+5), (2+5), (3+10), (5+15), (8+25), and so on.

The sequence thus decomposes into sum of two standard Fibonacci sequences,
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 up to 40 terms and 5*(1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 up to 39 terms.

So the sum is given as : Sum of 40 terms of the standard Fibonacci series + 5*Sum
of 39 terms of the standard Fibonacci series. Which is equivalent to 6*Sum of 39
terms in the standard Fibonacci series + the 40th term. And since sum of n terms
of a fibonacci series is given as F(n+2)-1,

The sum should be 6*{F(41)-1}+F(40) = F(40) + 6*F(41) - 6.

more roses, he will charge her 2 dollars for all the roses and also you can save 80
cents per dozen.. What is the value of x and y?

if we consider x=2
than y should be y=0.4667.
Because,
Actual price of dozen roses is 2.80 dollars.
so for x=1 rose she will have to pay y=0.233

Same way for x=2,y=0.4667

1223334444 has 10 numbers
11222233333344444444 has 20 numbers.
similarly 111222222333333333444444444444 has 30 next 40 and so on.
In this way upto 23rd line we will have a total of 2760
numbers.10(n*n+1)/2
2888-2760=128
2761 is 1 and this is 24th line .
in 24th line 1 repeats 24 times
2 repeats 2*24=48 times.
3 repeats 72 times.
24+48 = 72 .. 128-72=56.
so after the last 2 taking 56 steps is giving us 3.
Hence the 2888 number is 3.

green and blue. If 2 boxes are selected, how
many combinations are there for at least one
green box or one red box to be selected?
A) 1 b) 6 c) 9 d) 5
Answer is 5
since there are 3 possible ways to do
first -> one box is red ,other boxes can be yellow and blue -> 2ways
second -> one box is green, other boxes can be yellow and blue -> 2ways
third -> both the boxes are red and green - 1way

total - 2+2+1 =5 ways (since arrangement is not considered)

hey sangam (G,G) & (R,R) is also a possibility but think if we selected one box i.e
green or red then there are no remaining red or green boxes..

So totally there are 4 boxes if u select 1 then remaining boxes will be 3..According
to you there should be again 4 in order to select same box..which is not possible..

117> An empty tank is filled with an inlet pipe A in 42

minutes. After 12 minutes an outlet pipe B is opened
which can empty the tank in 30 minutes. After 6 minutes
another inlet pipe C opened into the same tank, which
can fill the tank in 35 minutes and the tank is filled find
the time taken to fill the tank?
a) 16 b) 18 c) 20 d) 21

let the tank be filled in t minutes after opening tap C

now total part of tank filled=[(t/42)-(t/30)+(t/35)]
now
(12/42)-(6/30)+(6/42)+[(t/42)-(t/30)+(t/35)=1
solve for t we get t=40.5 minutes
therefore
total time= 40.5min + 12min(when A was opened) + 6 min(when B was opened)=
58.5 min ans.

This is correct Options are wrong

119> The milk and water in two vessels A and B are

a) 8 : 5 b) 9 :4 c) 5: 7 d) 7 : 5

Milk in 1 litre mixture of A = 4/7 litre.

Milk in 1 litre mixture of B = 2/5 litre.
Milk in 1 litre mixture of C = 1/2 litre.
By rule of alligation we have required ratio X:Y

X:Y
4/7 2/5

/
(Mean ratio)
(1/2)
/
(1/2 2/5) : (4/7 1/2)
1/10 1/1 4

A. 3 B. 6 C. 12 D. 9

take equations as x-y(1/3)-z(1/6)=32 and x+y+z=50 on simplifying we get 7x-

y=242 so x=(242+y)/7 : x cannot be a fraction as it is number of question
substitute options and u would get answer as 3 .so option A

124> Two persons are climbing up on two moving

escalators which have 120 steps. The ratio of 1st
persons speed to that of 1st escalator is 2:3 (steps).
The ratio of 2nd persons speed to that of 2nd
escalator is 3:5 (steps). Find the total number of steps
they both have taken together.
A.85 B.93 C.80 D.75

Lets do the first part of the question, 2:3 ratio. ie. your speed in relation of the
escalator is 2:3. Think of it like splitting the number of steps with the escalator;
2+3=5 so cut the escalator into 5 pieces, you walk 2/5 of the way and the escalator
does 3/5 of the work. Note that 2/5 over 3/5 is a 2:3 ratio. So the answer to the
first part of the question is (2/5)*120 = 48. That's the number of steps you take.
similarly the other person takes 45 steps.
In total 45+48=93

n/(m+n).

If white ball is drawn in 1st turn,then prob.of drawing a white ball

=(m/(m+n))*((m+k)/(m+n+k)).

If black ball is drawn in 1st turn,then prob.of drawing a white ball

=(n/(m+n))*(m/(m+n+k)).

So prob. of drawing a white

ball=((m/(m+n))*((m+k)/(m+n+k)))+((n/(m+n))*(m/(m+n+k)))= m/(m+n)i.e

173>Out of 9 person, 8 person spent RS.30 each for their meals. The 9th one spent
Rs.20 more than the average expenditure of all the nine. The total money spent by
all of them was:
(a) Rs.260 (b)Rs.290 (c)Rs.292.50 (d)Rs.400.50

Let the 9th person spend Rs x.

Then the total sum spent by the nine people = 30 x 8 + x
= 240 + x.
So the average expenditure = (240 + x)/9.
Now x is 20 more than the average expenditure.
So, x = (240 + x)/9 + 20
Therefore x - 20 = (240 + x)/9
Thus, 9x - 180 = 240 + x
Or, 8x = 420
Or x = 52.50
Therefore total money spent = 240 + 52.50 = 292.50

Let A_1 = 1234 and A_[n + 1] = 10000 * A_n + 1234

So that A_2 = 12341234
A_3 = 123412341234 etc...
We want the remainder when A_100 is divided by 909.

Now, working modulo 909, we know that since 10000 1 (mod 909), we have
A_[n + 1] 10000 * A_n + 1234
A_n + 325

I then claim that A_n 325 * n (mod 909)

This is true for n = 1, since A_1 = 1234 325*1 (mod 909)
Then if A_n 325n (mod 909),
A_[n + 1] A_n + 325 325n + 325 325(n + 1) (mod 909)
So it is true for n + 1 as well, and hence by induction for all n.

We then get that

A_100 325*100 (mod 909)
= 32500 685 (mod 909)

i.e. the remainder is 685

181> find the sum of all four digits numbers that can be formed using the digits
0,1,2,3. no digits can be repeated

Assuming that numbers with leading zeros do not count, there are 4*4*3*2*1 = 96
possible numbers. 24 of these numbers begin with a 1, 24 begin with a 2, ..., and
24 begin with a 4.

Consider all the numbers beginning with a 1. The remaining digits are {0,2,3,4}.
However, they can appear in any order, so it can make sense to assume that each
digit will appear in each placeholder an equal number of times. There are 24
numbers total, so each number will appear in a placeholder six times. The sum of
these numbers is (10000)(24) + 6(4+3+2+0)(1000+100+10+1)

Likewise, we do the same with the other leading numbers 2,3,4 to get
(10000)(24) + 6(4+3+2+0)(1000+100+10+1)

(20000)(24) + 6(4+3+1+0)(1000+100+10+1)
(30000)(24) + 6(4+2+1+0)(1000+100+10+1)
(40000)(24) + 6(3+2+1+0)(1000+100+10+1) (see how to obtain these sums?)

Adding them all up, we get

(100000)(24) + 6(30)(1000+100+10+1) = 2599980.

Let E1 denote the event of A's rolling "6" and E2 the event of B's rolling "7" with a
pair of dice. Then E1, E2are the complementary events.
There are 5 ways of obtaining 6 {(1,5), (5, 1), (2, 4), (4, 2), (3, 3)}
and Sample space while throwing 2 dice = 66 = 36
So P(E1)=536 and P(E1)=1536=3136

P(E2)=636 and P(E2)=116=56

It is given that A starts the game and he will win in the following mutually exclusive
ways.
(1) E1 happens i.e., A wins at the first roll
(2) E1E2E1 happens. i.e., A wins at the third roll of the dice after A, B

A factory employs skilled , unskilled workers and clerks in the ratio 8:5:1
and the wages of them are in the ratio of 5:2:3. when 20 unskilled workers
are employed the total wages amount to 318 what is the daily wages paid
to each type of worker

Number of skilled worker: unskilled worker: clerks = 8:5:1 and the ratio of their
respective Wages = 5:2:3
Hence the amount will be paid in the ratio 8 5 : 5 2 : 3 1 = 40 : 10:3
Hence total amount distributed among unskilled workers
318 x 10 / (40+10 +3) = Rs 60.

But the number of unskilled workers is 20, so the daily wages of unskilled worker
60/20 = rs.30
The wages of a skilled worker, an unskilled worker and a clerk are in the ratio =
5:2:3
Multiplying the ratio by (5/2) and (3/2)we get = 7.50 : 3 : 4.50
So, if an unskilled worker gets Rs.3 a day then a skilled worker gets Rs. 7.50 per

190>in base 7, a number is written only using digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6. the
number 135 in base 7 is 1*72+3*7+5=75 in base 10. what is the sum of
the base 7 numbers 1234 & 6543 in base 7?
a)11101
b)11110
c)10111
d)11011
1234+6543 will be done as:

4+3=7 since base is 7 so it will become 0 giving 1 carry to next digits(so

4+7=0)
3+4 + 1 carry from above step= 1 and 1 carry to next digit
2+5 + 1 carry to next digit= 1 and 1 carry
1+6= 11

so ans=11110

b) 2.1021*10^65
c) 3.1035*10^63
d) 3.1035*10^62
Note that 50! 3.04 x 10^64 already, so this eliminates (C) and (D) as
they are less than 50!. Intuitively, you would expect that 1! + 2! + ... +
50!'s value would be significantly greater than 50!, but not by a factor of
about 10 as (B) expects, so you would expect that 1! + 2! + ... + 50! <
10^65. Thus, the only answer that makes sense is (A).

Therefore, the answer is (A).

I hope this helps!

203>A secretary types five letters and five envelopes but puts the letter into the
envelopes at random.
What is the probability that at least one letter is put into its correct envelop.

(Scroll Down for Answer!)

When you see the words "at least one", we know to first find the
probability of
the complement event and then subtract from 1.

The complement event is that no letters go in the right envelope.

The denominator of the probability is obviously 5!.

The numerator of the probability is what is difficult.

Let an be the number of ways n letters can all put in n wrong envelopes.

We want to find a5

Suppose the 5 letters are numbered 1,2,3,4,5, and the envelopes are also
numbered 1,2,3,4,5. We have to find the number of ways in which no letter
goes
in the envelope having the same number as its number. There are 4 ways
for the
first letter to go in an envelope other than the 1st one. Let us assume, for
definiteness, that the letter 1 gets put in envelope 3. There are now two
possibilities:
case 1. letter 3 goes in envelope 1,

That leaves letters 2,4,5 to be put wrongly in envelopes 2,4,5. That's

a3 possibilities.

case 2. letter 3 does not go in envelope 1.

That leaves letters 2,3,4,5 to put wrongly in envelopes 1,2,4,5. But since
letter 3 cannot go in envelope 1, that will be the same as if we re-labeled
letter 3 as letter X and re-labeled envelope 1 as envelope X. Then we
would
have letters 2,X,4,5 to go wrongly in envelopes X,2,4,5. That's a 4
possibilities.

So the number of ways letter 1 could have gone in envelope 3 is

a3 + a4

But we could have put letter 1 in any of the 4 letters {2,3,4,5}. Therefore
we
must multiply that by 4, and so we get

a5 = 4(a3 + a4)

By the same token

a4 = 3(a2 + a3)

It's obvious that a2 = 1 because if there are 2 letters and 2

envelopes, then there is exactly 1 way to put letter 1 in envelope 2 and
letter
2 in envelope 1.

It's also easy to discover that a3 = 2 because envelopes 1,2,3 could

only either go respectively in envelopes 2,3,1 or respectively in envelopes
3,1,2.

Therefore,

a4 = 3(a2 + a3) = 3(1+2) = 3(3) = 9

and

a5 = 4(a3 + a4) = 4(2+9) = 4(11) = 44

So the probability that all the letters will go wrong is 44 ways out of all 5!

ways they could have been placed. That probability is = = .

Therefore the probability that at least one letter goes in the correct
envelope

is 1 - =

make 3 trials before drawing out a heart.

So, in the first two trials he must draw anything else but not the heart.
Probability of choosing any other card except the heart: 39/52 = 3/4
Probability of drawing a heart: 13/52 = 1/4

draw any two cards except the heart for the first two.
So, prob = (3/4)*(3/4) = 9/16
He has to draw a heart in the third trial.

write 678 in binary format its (1010100110)base2

the last 3 digits can be obtained by writing the last 3 digits of 988^678
now 988^1 = 988
988^2 mod 1000 = 144
988^4 mod 1000= 144* 144 mod 1000= 736
988^8 mod 1000 = 736 * 736 mod 1000= 696
988^16mod 1000 = 696*696 mod 1000=416
988^32 mod 1000= 416 *416 mod 1000 = 056
988^64 mod 1000 = 056 * 056 mod 1000= 136
988^128 mod 1000 = 136*136 mod 1000= 496
988^256 mod 1000= 496*496 mod 1000= 016
988^512 mod 1000= 016*016 mod 1000 = 256
now as we already have 678 in binary form we can write it as
512+128+32+4+2
988^(512+128+32+4+2) can be calculated as
(256*496*056*736*144)mod 1000 // using the mod 1000 values

From the above discussion leading non zero digit of 100 !

= [1005]!2(100/5)=20!220

Applying the above logic, the last non zero digit of 20! = [205]!2(20/5)=4!24
So Last non zero digit of 100! = (20!220)=(4!24)220
= 24 x 16 x 6 = 4

2. How do we proceed If the given number is not divisible by 5 exactly?? For

example we have to find the leading non zero digit of 28!
In this case we consider the leading non zero digit upto 25 and manually we
multiply the units digits of the remaining 3 terms with the result.
25! = 555!25251055!25
So the unit digit of 25! = 120 x 32 = 4 (We omit the zero)
Now unit digit of 28! = 4 x 26 x 27 x 28 = 4

The generalized formula to find the non zero digit of N = [N5]!2[N/5]Rem(N/5)!

Here [ ] denotes greatest integer function. [3.6] = 3 and rem means remainder
when N is divided by 5.

3. Find the last non zero digit of 2000!

We know that Last non zero digit of 2000!
= [20005]!2(2000/5)=(400!2400)
Again Last non zero digit of 400! = [4005]!2(400/5)=(80!280)
Again last non zero digit of 80! = [805]!2(80/5)=(16!216)

Now 16! = [165]!2[16/5]Rem(16/5)!=3!231!=8

Now combining the whole discussion last non zero digit of 1000!
= 24002802168 = 6 x 6 x 6 x 8 = 8
