Answer: 4 numbers
32,46,96,69.
Let 2 digits of number are x,y.
The given condition is x+y=5(x-y); x+y=5x-5y; 4x=6y; x/y=3/2.
From this condition we can get following pairs.
(x=3,y=2);(x=6,y=4);(x=9,y=6);
combinations of these pairs are 32,23,64,46,96,69.
In these numbers 64 is perfect square, 23 is prime number.

Find the matching numbers!!

Complexity Level : Challenging

Hint:

Since 4A < 10 and A is even, A = 2.
Therefore, E = 8.
Similarly, other possibilities need to be found.
Try and go to solution, if you still cannot.

Solution :

Answer:21978
Since 4A < 10 and A is even, A = 2.
Therefore, E = 8.
E x 4 must end in 2.
It follows that B <= 2 because 23 x 4 > 89.
B = 1 because the two-digit number B2 must be a multiple of 4.
So far, we got 21CD8 x 4 = 8DC12.
See that D >= 4 and that D8 x 4 ends in 12.
Therefore, D = 7.
The only possible value of C is 9.
ABCDE = 21978.
Find the length of the fish!!

Complexity Level : Normal

Hint:

Length of the fish is the summation of lengths of the head, the body and the tail.
Hence, Length (L) = Head (H) + Body (B) + Tail (T)
Make equation with clues given and find the length.
Try and go to solution, if you still cannot.

Solution :

Answer:128 inches
Length of the fish is the summation of lengths of the head, the body and the tail.
Hence, Length (L) = Head (H) + Body (B) + Tail (T)
Head is 4 inches i.e. H = 4.
Body is three-quarters of its total length i.e. B = (3/4)*H.
Tail is its head plus a quarter the length of its body i.e. T = H + B/4.
L = H + B + T
L = 4 + (3/4)*F + H + B/4
L = 4 + (3/4)*F + 4 + (1/4)*(3/4)*F
L = 8 + (15/16)*F
(1/16)*F = 8
L = 128 inches
Fish is 128 inches long.

Also, the last digit is two times the second. Hence, the answer is 1458.
Find the Number !!

Complexity Level : Normal

Hint:

Place number into a variable. Then form an equation with tens and units.
Try and go to solution, if you still cannot.

Solution :

Answer:65
Taking the number as xy, 10x + y, when we reverse the digits, we get 10y + x.
The sum is then (10x + y) + (10y + x) = 11x + 11y = 121.
Dividing by 11, we have x + y = 11.
Taking the difference: (10x + y) – (10y + x) = 9x – 9y = 9, and dividing by 9: x – y = 1.
Finally, adding: x + y = 11, x – y = 1.
2x = 12, x = 6, y = 5.
Number is 65.

Hint:

Use any 3 number balls in any ways.
Try and go to solution, if you still cannot.

Solution :

Answer: 6 + 11 + 13 = 30
All number balls are odd numbers.
Using rule of parity, Even + even = even,
Even + odd = odd,
Odd + odd = even.
In this case, (odd + odd) + odd = even + odd = odd.
So, mathematically, this is impossible.
Only possibility or hint is number ball.
See, any ball can be turned in different angles to get an even number.
Yes, 9 can be turned to make 6.
So, we can use 6 as one number.
6 + 11 + 13 = 30.

Hint:

Try to get x + y , xy and a + b separately.
Multiply with x + y to given equations.
Try and go to solution, if you still cannot.

Solution :

Answer: 42
13(x + y - xy) - 120(a + b) = ?

We need to find x + y , xy and a + b separately.
Take ax2 + by2 = 10
Multiply both sides by x + y.
(ax2 + by2)(x + y) = 10(x + y)
ax3 + ax2y + bxy2 + by3 = 10(x + y)
50 + xy(ax+by) = 10(x + y)
50 + 5xy = 10(x + y) ---(1)
Take ax3 + by3 = 50
Multiply both sides by x + y.
(ax3 + by3)(x + y) = 50(x + y)
ax4 + ax3y + bxy3 + by4 = 50(x + y)
130 + xy(ax2+by2) = 50(x + y)
130 + 10xy = 50(x + y) ---(2)
Now multiplying 2 in 1st equation and subtracting 2nd one
100 + 10xy = 20(x + y) --(1)
-(130 + 10xy = 50(x + y)) ---(2)
---------------------------------
-30 = -30(x + y)
x + y = 1
Equating this in 1st equation
50 + 5xy = 10
5xy = -40, xy = -8
Take ax + by = 5 and multiply x + y.
(ax + by)(x + y) = 5 (x + y)
ax2 + bxy +axy + by2 = 5(x + y)
10 + xy(a + b) = 5
10 - 8 (a + b) = 5
a + b = 5/8
13(x + y - xy) - 120(a + b) =
13(1 - (-8)) - 120(5/8) =
117 - 75 = 42

The alphabet such as C , E , G should be assumed lesser in value .
So Try to assume the values from 1 2 3 4
Go to solution, if you are still not getting it.

Solution:

Answer: 4
One digit must be 9. Then, from [1] and [2], 9 must go with 1 and 3.
From the diagram no digit has been used in more than two sums.
From this and the fact that 9 goes with 1 and 3:
Case I. If 8 goes with 1 and 4, then 7 goes with 2 and 4; then 6 goes with 2 and 5
Case II. If 8 goes with 2 and 3, then 6 goes with 2 and 5; then 7 goes with 1 and 5.
But Case II is impossible because the digit 4 does not occur.
So Case I is correct and, from the diagram, E must be 4.
The arrangement of the digits is shown below :
9 3 1
8
4 7 2
5
6

Hint:

Find the sum of liquid he drank till 40 days.
Then, reduce number of litres of milk he drank to get the quantity of water.
Go to solution, if you are still not getting it.

Out of those 820 litres, 40 litres is the milk which he had initially.
Hence, he must have drunk 780 litres of water.
