#452 - which alphabet replaces the question mar

If we tell you that there is a relation between the numbers and letters in the given figure, can you analyze it and find the missing letter in the last box ?

which alphabet replaces the question mar

The missing letter in the last box is Z.

Denote each alphabet to the corresponding number. For example, A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 and so on. Now you will find that the center digit is actually the product of the alphabets on both sides. In such case, the missing letter is Z.

=>G(7) * Z(26) = 182

A ship is sailing in the water. It has a rope ladder hanging over its side. The rungs are 355 mm apart. Suppose if the water is rising one meter every 12 hours, how many rungs will be underwater after one day ?

Tricking Question

It does not matter how much apart are the rungs as no matter at how much speed the water level rises, none of the rungs will go underwater. This is because with the water level rising, even the ship will be rising. Thus none of the rungs go underwater.

The below given figure comprises of a pattern through which you can determine the missing letter. Can you push your mind to find the pattern and add the missing letter?

which letter replaces the question mark

The missing letter is Q.

If you add the three numbers on each square, the value corresponds to the equivalent alphabet in the center. For example 6 + 4 + 4 = 14 and N is the 14th letter. Similarly 14 + 2 + 1 = 17 or the letter Q.

#459 - Difficult Math Trivia Question

Can you find out the remainder when 3^300 is divided by 5?

Difficult Math Trivia Question

3

It is obvious that it is not feasible to calculate 3^300 as it will take too much of time. So we will use a trick to solve the question. We will calculate the remainder of each power till we find a pattern.

3^1 divided by 5 leaves the remainder 3.
3^2 divided by 5 leaves the remainder 4.
3^3 divided by 5 leaves the remainder 2.
3^4 divided by 5 leaves the remainder 1.
3^5 divided by 5 leaves the remainder 3.
3^6 divided by 5 leaves the remainder 4.

As you can see that the pattern is now repeating itself and it will go on like this till 3^300 and beyond. Since every fourth remainder is same as the first, we will look for the power of 4 only. 300 is divisible by 4. Therefore at the power of 300, the first remainder will repeat itself and the remainder will be 3.

#460 - Quick Fire Maths Question

In a science lab, a petri dish hosts a healthy colony of yeast for an experiment. Now every minute, all the yeast cells divide into two. At noon, there was just a single cell of yeast and at 1:22, the Petri dish was half full. Can you calculate when the dish will be full of yeast?

Quick Fire Maths Question

Since at every minute, the cells of yeast are multiplying into two and at 1:22, the dish was half full, it will become full the very next minute i.e. at 1:23.
