Usually, a boxing match consist of twelve rounds. In a particular friendly match between two heavyweights, the match was finished in the seventh round itself as one of the boxer knocked out the other one.
But, in that fight, no man threw even a single punch.
How can this be possible ?
This is absolutely possible because the match was between two female boxers.
Below, you can see three complete equations and one incomplete. Based on the three complete ones, can you complete the incomplete one?
5 $ 4 $ 3 $ 9 = 4215
6 $ 9 $ 2 $ 6 = 3816
4 $ 7 $ 3 $ 3 = 1122
7 $ 2 $ 7 $ 4 = ____
2418 is the answer.
The algo that has been used here is
A $ B $ C $ D = [first digit of (A * D)] [last digit of (B * C)] [first digit of (B * C)] [last digit of (A * D)]
Using the same algo,
7 $ 2 $ 7 $ 4 = [first digit of (7 * 4)] [last digit of (2 * 7)] [first digit of (2 * 7)] [last digit of (7 * 4)]
= 2418
You are provided with a grid (as shown in the picture). Can you fill the squares with numbers 1-8 in a manner that none of the two consecutive numbers are placed next to each other in any direction (vertically, horizontally or diagonally?)
This problem can be solved in four different ways. The picture shows you one of the solutions. Can you find out the other three?
B is to the North-East of D; A is to the North-East of C; C is to the West of D; E is to the South-West of D and to the South of C; and A is to the north of D and in line with B.
You have to find out that in which direction of E is B located. Can you do it ?
As we draw on a paper (see the figure) we find out that B is located on the North-East of E.
Calculate a six digit number that is smaller than 500000 such that the sum of its digits is 43 exactly.
499849
Let us begin with the maximum sum of a digit under 500000. Of course it will be the sum of 499999.
4 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 49.
Now, the required number must be close to it.
Rooting 499999, we get 707.106
Taking the square of 707, we get 499849.
4 + 9 + 9 + 8 + 4 + 9 = 43
Thus, the required number is 499849.
Doctor advised his patient to take a tablet after every fifteen minutes. He gave him five tablets in total.
How much time will he take to have all the five tablets ?
60
The patient will be able to take all the tablets in an hour. This is because the first tablet will start the time.
1st tablet = 0 min
2nd tablet = 15 min
3rd tablet = 30 min
4th tablet = 45 min
5th tablet = 60 min
Thirty friends were on a hiking trip when they decided to enjoy the bonfire. They assembled for it and agreed to play a game. For that, they divided themselves in five teams with seven members each, forming five rows.
How did they manage to achieve this formation ?
You can see that they decided to form a pentagonal formation.
A pen along with its cap costs Rs. 5.50. If the cost of pen is Rs. 5, more than the cap, can you calculate the cost of the cap ?
Let the cost of cap = c
Cost of pen = (5 + c)
As per the condition
5.50 = 5 + c + c
2c = 0.5
C = 0.25
Thus the cost of the cap is 25 Paise
Raman was born on March 5, 1970. Prakhar was born 25 days before Raman. The year when they took birth, the Republic Day fell on Monday.
Can you find out on what day was Prakhar born?
Prakhar was born on Sunday.
Prakhar was born 25 days before Raman and thus the birth date of Prakhar will be 8 Feb 1970.
Republic Day was on Monday.
Number of days from 26 January till 8 February = 13
After 13 days of Monday, it will be Sunday.
